| Abstract |
A vibrotactile threshold measurement system based on specifications of the International Organization for Standardization (draft standard ISO/CD 13091) was compared with a system currently used in Japan. Measurements were carried out on ten subjects under conditions similar to those outlined in the draft standard. Vibrotactile thresholds measured with the Japanese equipment were higher than those measured with the ISO equipment. In addition, the ISO equipment showed greater repeatability of results. Vibrotactile threshold determinations should take into account the experimental conditions (vibration frequency, area of contact, contact force, push force, and finger temperature). |
