Abstract
A data glove for generating tactile feedback at a finger upon interaction of the finger with an interaction element on an infrared touchscreen includes receiving elements for receiving the fingers of an operator and stimulators for generating tactile feedback attached on the finger-receiving elements. The date glove also includes elements for identifying the finger interacting with the infrared touchscreen and a signal generator for exciting the stimulator of the interacting finger upon successful actuation of an interaction element on the infrared touchscreen.
