Tactors are small actuators that vibrate against the skin to provide a physical stimulus in response to an electrical input.  

Tactile Cueing is the process of using single or multiple vibrational stimuli, applied at appropriate locations around the body, to provide Information to a user through the sense of touch.

Typical implementation involves multiple tactors placed around the body, and precisely activated (location, timing, intensity) to convey a message to the user. 

Features common to all ATAC™ tactors:

• Small, light weight.
• Easy to integrate into clothing.
• Minimal effects from loading by the skin or clothing.
• Dynamic and precise signal response.  
• Safe and reliable.

  
EAI's ATAC™ systems have been applied to:

• Safety of flight systems for pilots.
• Soldier communications.
• Biomedical feedback.
• Virtual reality.

ATAC™  allows practical implementation of tactile systems and display symbology for a variety of applications.
