Abstract
Precise manual work is frequently required in remote and virtual environments. Cutaneous feedback to the whole hand is a key element in achieving this goal; however, most haptic I/O systems for the hand only present haptic sensations to the tips of the fingers. I propose to use an electrocutaneous display to construct a whole-hand cutaneous feedback system. The display shape is cylindrical, to allow it to be grasped as a handle, and integrated with kinesthetic display. The prototype contains 1536 (64 x 24) electrodes that work both as stimulators and touch sensors.
