With the emergence of pen-enabled tablets and mobile devices, stylus-based interaction has been receiving increasing attention. Unfortunately, styluses available on the market today are all passive instruments that are primarily used for writing and pointing. The article describes a novel stylus, HaptiStylus, which is capable of conveying certain vibrotactile and inertial haptic effects to the user. The stylus is equipped with two vibration actuators at each end that are used to create a tactile sensation of up and down movement along the stylus. The stylus is also embedded with a DC motor, which helps create a sense of bidirectional rotational torque along the pen. Psychophysical experimental results and practical application use-case studies show that the proposed device can effectively convey movement and rotational torque information to the user.
随着支持手写笔的平板电脑和移动设备的出现，基于手写笔的交互受到了越来越多的关注。不幸的是，如今市场上的手写笔都是无源工具，主要用于书写和指点。本文描述了一种新型手写笔——触觉手写笔（HaptiStylus），它能够向用户传达某些振动触觉和惯性触觉效果。该手写笔在两端各配备了两个振动器，用于产生沿手写笔上下移动的触感。手写笔还嵌入了一个直流电机，有助于产生沿笔的双向旋转扭矩感。心理物理学实验结果和实际应用案例研究表明，该设备能够有效地向用户传达运动和旋转扭矩信息。
