Abstract
Inspired by somatic methodologies and neurophysiology, Haplos is a low-cost, wearable technology that applies vibrotactile patterns to the skin, can be incorporated in existing clothing and implements, and can be programmed and activated remotely. We review existing vibrotactile technologies and known uses of vibrotactile stimuli; describe the hardware, textile, and software components of Haplos; describe results from a quasi-experimental workshop to evaluate Haplos; and discuss future research and development directions.
