The demonstration we will present at the IEEE Haptics Symposium features a 16 cm x 16 cm surface haptic display, distinguished by its array of 1,500 independently controllable haptic pixels. These pixels form a tactile interface that allows users to physically interact with dynamic tactile patterns and graphics, such as traced shapes and figures, which can evolve dynamically in space and time. Users interact with the display by feeling it through direct touch with the hand. This display is realized through an array of 1,500 refreshable actuated haptic pixels, each with a diameter of 3 mm, and arranged with a display pitch of approximately 4 mm. This arrangement achieves a resolution that is more than adequate for conveying a large variety of tactile graphics and dynamic tactile patterns that can be felt via touch.
