Scenario Zero orTheoretical Framework2For the fully comprehension of the present work, a brief explanation of theScenario Zero, found when the project was just starting, must beintroduced.This is a human-machine interaction (HMI) project, therefore this introductionwill give a look into the three components of HMI, the human being system and skills,the interaction itself and the product domain and its properties (Sonneveld, M. H.and Schifferstein H. N. J. 2008). In this chapter all these matters will be introduced andsome of them discussed.Firstly, the human systems will be presented. In this case, there is a necessaryintroduction into the haptic’s world essence, the sense of touch.Then it is the turn for the product domain knowledge. For this project the mainproduct domain is touch screen’s technology. There will be a quick view into thetechnical part concerning touch screen’s technology available in the market. Tomake them easier to compare for future conclusions, a table containing the differentattributes of each technology can be found at the end of this section.In order to understand the interaction itself, the results of a market research onhaptic feedback devices are explained. The technologies that are used to producehaptic feedback found on the market research are explained. There is also in thissection a comparative table regarding attributes of technologies used to producehaptic feedback. By the end of the section, a comparison between the hapticfeedback actions available for each technology producing haptic feedback isincluded. There is also, in that section, the introduction to the analysis of users in thethesis environment. The most important fact is the user capacity of perception, so theuser analysis will concern multisensory environment. Even if that could be considered7
