Haptif Feedback Grid Preliminary Data

In this study, 20 participants, without any prior knowledge of how the haptic vibrations would feel when directed on their back, were exposed to randomly selected directional signals. Each participant received two sets of 30 signals, for a total of 60 signals, with a 3-second interval between each one. Initially, diagonal directions were labeled using compass points (e.g., "ne" for northeast), but these were later changed to corresponding terms like "up-right" to improve clarity. The purpose of the study was to assess how well participants could interpret directional cues through haptic feedback, without any preconceived understanding of the signal patterns. The data collected includes only participants' gender and age, ensuring that no personal information was gathered, and no participant can be identified.
