Abstract

In   this   paper   we   describe   a   field   study   conducted   with   a   wearable   vibration   belt   where   we   test   to   determine   the   vibration   intensity   sensitivity   ranges   on   a   large   diverse   group   of   participants   with   evenly   distributed  ages  and  gender,  ranging  from  seven  to  79   years.   We   test   for alterations   in   sensitivity   in   the   field   by   introducing   an   escalating   level   of   distraction   in   increasingly   busy   environments.   The   findings   on sensitivity   detection   range   differ   from   previous   lab   studies   in   that   we   found   a   decreased   detection   rate   in   busy   environments.   Here   we   test   with   a   much   larger   sample   and   age   range,   and   contribute   with   the   first   vibration  sensitivity  testing  outside  the  lab  in  an  urban   public  environment.
