VTQA: behavioral data from studies on compression ratios in vibrotactile signal processing
Abstract
OBJECTIVES: This dataset collection aims to facilitate research on the transmission of digitized vibrotactile signals over communication networks, emphasizing the importance of minimizing delay and bandwidth requirements while preserving perceptual quality in human sensory experiences. DATA DESCRIPTION: The dataset includes perceptual ratings derived from two user studies evaluating the quality of vibrotactile signals compressed using various single-point tactile codecs. Participants provided subjective quality ratings for a range of compression ratios to assess data fidelity and the extent to which compression algorithms may compromise quality in favor of file size reduction.
