Accelerations

This dataset includes acceleration data measured by 36 participants across 154 Tactons (i.e., Tactile Icons). We used three iOS smartphones (iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 14, and iPhone 11 Pro Max) by Apple Inc. to collect acceleration data as well as sensory and emotional ratings of Tactons on various consumer phones. These phones varied in size and mass: iPhone 13 mini (64.2 x 131.5 x 7.65 mm, 141 g), iPhone 14 (71.5 x 146.7 x 7.8 mm, 172 g), and iPhone 11 Pro Max (77.8 x 158.0 x 8.1 mm, 226 g). We attached an accelerometer (Analog Devices; ADXL354z) on the right to the smartphone camera and measured the accelerations of the vibrations using a DAQ board (National Instruments; USB-6353) with the sample rate of 10 kHz.
