Tacomotive is a new haptic language. Through the tactile sensations created by the cut structures, it delivers information sensorily; more akin to color than text. In the future, it will facilitate tactile communication.
Initially this was proposed as a driving simulator for people with visual and aural challenges. Through mentoring, Mikuni expanded Tacomotive into a haptic language, a non-verbal, sensory communication tool with wide application.
Kou Mikuni graduated the Department of Integrated Science (natural science) at the University of Tokyo, and is currently a doctoral student studying design at the School of Engineering (mechanical engineering) of the same university.
