Communications
• Hand signals are a common way to communicate• Hand signals are not always useful• Could there be a way to reduce the load of soldies' visual
channel?o Haptic signals
• Challenge for soldiers is to monitor visual and auditory channels and having enough environmental and situational awareness
• Security issues!

Comparison of army hand signals to tactile signals• A study, in which soldiers' abilities to interpret and respond
to tactile commands was evaluated• Combat patrol simulation on an obstacle course• Tactile and hand signals were given to soldiers• Response times and accuracy of interpretation were
recorded

Comparison of army hand signals to tactile signalsThe signals were:• Attention
o sequenced side-to-side activation of front tactors, creating a “wave-like” motion
• Halto four tactors simultaneously actuated
• Rallyo –sequenced back-to-front activation of tactors, creating
movement around each side of the body to converge in the front
• Move outo sequenced activation of all tactors, creating a circular
motion around the body

Comparison of army hand signals to tactile signalsResults and thoughts:• Tactile signals were intuitive and easy to understand• Faster response and interpretation than of the hand signals• Commands can be given at the same time for a group (no
wave effect)
• What about a real situation with lots of interference?• Security of the signals?• Soldiers perhaps had extra focus on tactile (new and exciting
thing) signals?

Detectability of haptic signals
Results and thoughts:• No difference between tactile displays• Difference between different patterns was small• Combat actions did have an effect to signal detection:
o Crawling 63% detectiono Tires 92%o Windows 88%
• Correct detection:o Crawling 51%o Tires 89%o Windows 77%

Detectability of haptic signals
• What about detection in poor conditions?• Stress, exhaustion and fear in real situation?• Not much margin for errors in real combat situations!
