ABSTRACT

"wavers" is a novel perceptible vibration system which enables a user to feel the difference of various textures. Tracing and scratching the textures make sounds. This system translates these sounds into perceptible vibration. The "wavers" consists mainly of vibrators and a vibration board. When the user is on the vibration board and trace or scratch it with a gripping environment, the user can feel texture directly with their body. The "wavers" aims to shed light on how to bind information to vibration by looking into the relationship between sound and vibration, the usage of vibration, and the way vibration is perceived.
