Abstract

The work aims to construct a tactile design testing system to address the absence of tactile feedback in industrial design processes through the quantification of tactile parameters, and establish a human-machine adaptation methodology incorporating tactile design, thereby facilitating the transition from experience-driven design to experience-driven design. A low-cost interactive platform integrating tactile gloves and an upper computer control system was constructed. Tactile blind tests were conducted with 30 professional designers using three handle sizes, and system efficacy was evaluated multidimensionally through the System Usability Scale (SUS), Pearson correlation analysis, operational accuracy (objective), and functional adaptability and wearing experience (subjective). Results demonstrated that tactile feedback improved design scale perception accuracy to 81%, validating decision-making effectiveness. A SUS score of 72.1 indicated favourable system usability. Pearson coefficients revealed that wearing comfort and finger flexibility significantly influenced decision efficiency. The proposed tactile interaction system enhances human-machine scale design iteration precision through quantified tactile experience data. Its lightweight characteristics and modular architecture provide highly adaptable solutions for equipment design. In contrast, the integrated "tactile-embedded design process methodology" offers methodological supports for transitioning industrial design from empirical to experiential paradigms.
