Abstract
We propose a method to convert sensory information into non-contact tactile sensation by vibrating of very low-frequency sound. The vibrator does not directly touch the object in a non-contact tactile sensation. Then, the object vibrates with the extremely low frequency. Previous research has shown that the resonance frequency of the chest and abdomen is about 10 Hz. Therefore, the chest and abdomen can vibrate in a non-contact manner by using the extremely low frequency of about 10 Hz. Until now, very low frequencies have hardly used in engineering. We propose new uses for embedding very low frequencies in sound such as a music; we name it the deep micro vibrotactile (DMV).
