Abstract

A brief survey is given on the current development of tactile stimulation systems for profoundly., deaf people. The problems that exist in the current state of the art are analysed, and our philosophy for making a tactile stimulation device is explained. An applied psychophysical study of the tactile sense is in progress, and the preliminary results of an investigation into the ability of the tactile sense to recognize graphic shapes are presented.
