N2 - In this paper we present the design of a new tactile actuator array for the display of distributed tactile dynamic shape information in telepresence and Virtual Environment (VE) applications. In actuator design we focussed on high pin forces and a bandwidth sufficient for most one-fingered tactile shape exploration tasks performed by dynamic interaction. As a result, the overall device dimensions currently prohibit its attachment to the effector of typical kinesthetic feedback devices. Experimental results are presented using the prototype in a finger-on-conveyerbelt scenario with objects moving relative to a resting fingertip. Experiments showed that the dynamic tactile display enabled probands to give parameter estimates of displayed objects with an accuracy exceeding the pin resolution of the tactile feedback device.
