A Tactile Torso Display Improves Orientation Awareness in Microgravity: A Case Study in the ISS
vanErp. J. B. F.; Ruijsendaal, M.; vanVeen, H. A. H. C.; July 2005; 37 pp.; In English; Original contains color illustrations Contract(s)/Grant(s): TNO Proj. 013.84035 Report No.(s): TD2005-0276; TNO-DV3-2005-A052; Copyright; Avail.: Other Sources
Maintaining a good sense of one's orientation in a microgravity environment such as the International Space Station (ISS) is difficult because information from the vestibular and the proprioceptive system is lacking.
Especially in challenging situations such as Extra Vehicular Activity and emergency evacuations an orientation support tool may be of critical importance.
This study investigates if astronaut s orientation awareness can be improved by providing a vibration on the torso that indicates the direction of down . Author
