| contents | Proprioception is essential for coordinating human movements and enhancing the performance of assistive robotic devices. Skin stretch feedback, which closely aligns with natural proprioception mechanisms, presents a promising method for conveying proprioceptive information. To better understand the impact of interference on skin stretch perception, we conducted a user study with 30 participants that evaluated the effect of two simultaneous skin stretches on user perception. We observed that when participants experience simultaneous skin stretch stimuli, a masking effect occurs which deteriorates perception performance in the collocated skin stretch configurations. However, the perceived workload stays the same. These findings show that interference can affect the perception of skin stretch such that multi-channel skin stretch feedback designs should avoid locating modules in close proximity. |
