A SURVEY ON HAPTIC CODEC DESIGN APPROACHES

Tactile communication as a part of Tactile Internet concept now is one of the most promising research areas in telecommunications. Methods and approaches to design tactile codec, as well as equipment for the tactile sensation capture and display were the research subject of this work. As a research method author engaged collection and analysis of the known approaches to the subject of research. Core result. In this article author provide a survey of tactile data capture and display methods. Additionally, author propose a promising approach to the tactile codecs design, where vibration with sampling frequency of 2 kHz is combined with other tactile data, which is captured and send on an ad hoc basis. Practical relevance of the result allows to create a standard tactile codec. This in turn allows to widely introduce tactile component to the telecommunication applications.
