Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) A dance is one of ways by which deaf/hard of hearing people express the rhythm. When deaf/hard of hearing people dance, they usually utillize visual information of the instructor. Because it's defficult to get sound information for a timing of peformance from aural channel. But it is difficult to get full information through visual channel. Based on the concept of sensory substitution, we investigate a system that uses vibrotactile stimulus as a means of transmitting timing information in dance peformance. In this paper, we show the accuracy of timing when subjects perform movement by their arms and legs (aerobics) with vibrotactile stimulus.
