  • Vibrotactile feedback in a haptic device for spatial guidance of an aircraft : a Bachelorʼs thesis of the first-cycle bachelor's study programme in Mechanical Engineering
    Malalan, Nina
    Encoding and evaluation of haptic guiding methods with vibrotactile feedback are made as part of a project, the aim of which is designing a device that would help the pilot achieve a greater ... precision in-flight. Different kinds of stall warning devices and structural additions already exist that focus on attentional guidance, but do not consider spatial and movement guidance. The parameters, which can be manipulated, are defined and studied leading to three different combinations: "Only Duration" (OD), "Only Rhythm" (OR) and "Rhythm & Duration" (R&D). A pilot test was conducted to define their basic intuitiveness, narrowing the guiding methods down to two - OD and R&D. An additional vibration, named "vibration alert" (VA), is added to both methods with the aim of increasing the accuracy. These two methods are tested with a series of hypothesis tests to evaluate their learnability, accuracy, and intuitiveness. Based on the results the OD method is found out to be significantly more accurate than the R&D method. The additional vibration led to no significant improvements for the OD method and a significant decrease in the accuracy of the R&D method. Bigger improvement is achieved using the R&D method compared to the OD method.
