Title

Tactile Technology For Covert Communications

Abstract

The modern battlefield is an environment replete with information and distractions, often to the detriment of communication. To circumvent these issues, we developed TACTICS, a tactile display capable of covertly communicating directional cues and traditional U.S. Army Hand-Arm signals. A multi-pronged, human-centered approach was used to develop TACTICS, and specific considerations for general tactile display are discussed with TACTICS as an exemplar. Laboratory and field research suggest TACTICS is a highly effective means of communication by presenting tactile icons that are learned quickly, perceived intuitively, and discriminated successfully.
