            Abstract : 
In this study, we have developed a wearable haptic vest that can display sophisticated haptic feedback patterns. Our proposed haptic vest consists of 60 vibrotactile actuators that have direct contact to torso area. In addition, we have developed 34 haptic stimuli and conducted user testing to measure the effectiveness of our proposed haptic display method.
