contents In the pursuit of deeper immersion in human-machine interaction, achieving higher-dimensional tactile input and output on a single interface has become a key research focus. This study introduces the Visual-Electronic Tactile (VET) System, which builds upon vision-based tactile sensors (VBTS) and integrates electrical stimulation feedback to enable bidirectional tactile communication. We propose and implement a system framework that seamlessly integrates an electrical stimulation film with VBTS using a screen-printing preparation process, eliminating interference from traditional methods. While VBTS captures multi-dimensional input through visuotactile signals, electrical stimulation feedback directly stimulates neural pathways, preventing interference with visuotactile information. The potential of the VET system is demonstrated through experiments on finger electrical stimulation sensitivity zones, as well as applications in interactive gaming and robotic arm teleoperation. This system paves the way for new advancements in bidirectional tactile interaction and its broader applications.
