Abstract: It is known that by longing the duration of a vibrotactile stimuli or applying a damping or an increasing factor to the waveform the perceived intensity is affected in different ways. This paper presents a vibrotactile presentation system assembled with a software waveform generator that enables comparison in the perceived intensity for different waveforms made by multiple parameters. The adjustable parameters are frequency, amplitude, and wave type for the basic part of the stimuli and in addition, it is possible to apply an exponential decay or increasing factor to the waveform by specificizing the duration. By using the presented system, an easy comparison of the influence to the perception of intensity by different parameters of the waveform is possible. We conducted a preliminary experiment on a variety of waveshapes with and without damping by using this system.
