Paper Abstract
A tactile display is programmable device to be detected by human touch. It has great potential applications in the field of
virtual environment. The current research is the first step to develop a programmable tactile array based on ER/MR fluid
technology. Prototypes of display incorporating controllable fluids such as electrrheological (ER) fluid and
magnetorheological (MR) fluid have been developed and investigated. Surface force responses of these tactile displays
under various electric/magnetic fields have been measured while a probe moving across the upper surface. As the applied
external electric or magnetic field varied, the sensed surface profiles changed in synchronisation with the field strength.
With the controllable fluid actuator, the displayed surface information is stable and repeatable.
