Surface vibration tactile feedback is capable of conveying various semantic information to humans via handheld electronic devices, such as smartphones, touch panels, and game controllers. However, covering the entire contacting surface of the device with a dense arrangement of actuators can affect its normal use. Determining how to produce desired vibration patterns at any contact point with only ...
