Now You Feel It, Now You Don't: The Effect of Movement, Cue Complexity, and Body Location on Tactile Change Detection.

Objective: To evaluate the effects that movement, cue complexity, and the location of tactile displays on the body have on tactile change detection.

Background: Tactile displays have been demonstrated as a means to address data overload by offloading the visual and auditory modalities. However, change blindness-the failure to detect changes in a stimulus when changes coincide with another event or disruption in stimulus continuity-has been demonstrated to affect the tactile modality and may be exacerbated during movement.
