Abstract

Previous research demonstrated the ability for users to accurately recognize tactile textures on mobile surface. However, the experiments were only run in a lab setting and the ability for users to recognize tactile texture in a real-world environment remains unclear. In this paper, we investigate the effects of physical challenging activities on tactile textures recognition. We consider five conditions: (1) seated on an office, (2) standing in an office, (3) seated in the tramway, (4) standing in the tramway and (5) walking in the street. Our findings indicate that when walking, performances deteriorated compared to the remainder conditions. However, despite this deterioration, the recognition rate stay higher than 82% suggesting that tactile texture could be effectively recognized and used by users in different physical challenges activities including walking.
