DSDN112 - Project 2 - Development - Vibration Testing Cont.

In failing to find and application for iphone which allows me to program patterns of vibration into the phone i have devised a way of trialing my concept for vibrating navigation using more primitive means. The iphone 4 allows the user to program different ring tones to different contacts. Each ring tone has its own individual vibration pattern so when the phone is on silent the user can theoretically feel who is calling/texting. Using this method i will set up a trail with an iphone. The user will assign two different numbers to separate ring tones. Then the user will begin walking in a straight line. The user will then get texts from the two other phones in a particular sequence that will dictate his path. The data can then be reviewed to find out if the user was able to accurately distinguish between the different vibrations and relate the applicable one to the relevant turn (right or left)
