ABSTRACT:
A tactile communications device includes a two dimensional surface configured to be positioned in contact with a wearer for tactual stimulation. A plurality of actuators are positioned on the surface and arranged in a generally planar array. Various of the actuators are operable for being sequentially activated, line-by-line, to produce a non-veridical perception of a three dimensional surface.
