In this article, a novel wearable haptic device, to be worn on the hand and forearm, is introduced. Using the modalities of vibration, pressure, and heat application, the device attempts to replicate four core components of communication. The four components - co-presence, phatic communication, back-channeling, and direction giving - are simulated through haptic profiles individually unique to a section or combined as an encompassing system of the device. This paper evaluates the performance of the device through three testing phases with sighted-hearing and DeafBlind individuals. Results indicate that a strong majority of the tested haptic profiles show statistical significance in replication between individuals. This article is unique in its collaboration with the protactile DeafBlind community, individuals who communicate solely through touch, by furthering understanding on how to generate intuitive tactile profiles in wearable haptic devices.

一种受Protactile启发的可穿戴触觉设备，用于捕获通信的核心功能

在本文中，介绍了一种可戴在手和前臂上的新型可穿戴触觉设备。使用振动、压力和热量应用的方式，该设备试图复制通信的四个核心组件。四个组成部分——共存、触觉通信、反向通道和方向给予——通过单独特定于某个部分的触觉配置文件进行模拟，或组合为设备的一个包含系统。本文通过三个测试阶段对视力正常的人和聋哑人进行了评估。结果表明，绝大多数测试的触觉配置文件在个体之间的复制中显示出统计显着性。这篇文章在与触觉聋盲社区的合作中是独一无二的，这些人只通过触摸进行交流，
