Two mounting systems are developed to apply somatotopically accurate feedback to the fingertips, or modality matched feedback to the forearm or any other part of the body.
Features:
-The tactor devices use a lightweight Dymond D47 servo motor (Dymond, USA) with a 3D printed rack and pinion system to apply force to the user.
-The tactors are secured to the user with Velcro straps.
-Washable foam provides cushioning to prevent irritation to the user.
