Abstract
The research described in this monograph is the first attempt to develop a realistic tactile simulation system for real existing surfaces. Although there exist many different tactile displays developed by various research groups,most systems are designed to convey information to visually impaired persons (e.g. [3] or [2]). Other systems are limited to the simulation of simple geometrical surface features like ridges and grooves (e.g. [4]). However, unlike the work at hand none of these systems aims at a comprehensive and realistic tactile simulation of real existing surfaces.
