This paper explores a novel method for displaying tactile information using thermal radiation. We present two systems: one using halogen lamps and the other using laser scanning. The laser-scanning system demonstrated significantly improved accuracy and speed in delivering thermal stimuli, enabling the creation of detailed and dynamic tactile experiences. Key findings include:
- High-Precision Thermal Control: The laser-based system achieved superior accuracy and speed in heat delivery compared to halogen lamps.
- Viability of Visible Light: Experiments confirmed the effectiveness of visible light for controlled thermal radiation.
- Human Sensitivity to Subtle Heat Changes: A virtual wall experiment highlighted the human capacity to perceive minute temperature variations.
- Non-Contact Tactile Feedback: The research successfully generated tactile sensations without direct physical contact.
- Virtual Spatial Region Creation: The method enables the creation of virtual spatial regions perceived as heat sources.
These results highlight the potential of thermal radiation for developing advanced tactile interfaces in virtual reality, gaming, and assistive technologies."
