This paper presents the design of a transparent tactile stimulator, based on the friction reduction between the fingertip and the active surface. With such a design, the ratio between the useful area ( i.e. the active display and the tactile area) and the device face is equal to 0.7, while the touched area's size is 93mmx65mm. Key design procedure is given, and experimental results are presented.
