Abstract :
This paper introduces a system which supports text-based online communication by providing non-verbal information. The handwriting motion is transmitted in addition to the appearance of characters and graphics. Our research product, a noncontact tactile display, is used to stimulate the palm from a distance with a fine spatial resolution. The tactile stimulation is a spot of pressure generated by focused airborne ultrasound. The diameter of the spot is 13 mm and the maximum output force is 18 mN. It is combined with a graphic tablet, and the handwritten characters and graphics are displayed by moving the pressure spot according to the pen strokes.
