Abstract: Assuming the use scenario of free exploration on tactile graphics for people with visual impairments, this study investigated how the users perceive electrostatic friction stimuli on contour-based graphical information. We designed and conducted two experiments with 16 participants (8 visually-impaired and 8 sighted). First, we obtained spatial gap detection thresholds between two lines rendered using the electrostatic display. Second, we investigated spatial numerosity judgement on rendered lines on the display. Results demonstrated that the visually-impaired and sighted participants had similar perceptual performance. We summarize the findings and present suggestions for tactile graphics on an electrostatic friction display.
