Communication is a valuable resource that is a part of everyone's life. However, there are many cases where the resource of communication is not available, either due to saturation or impairment of the typical auditory or visual communication channels. Haptics, or the sense of touch, provides an alternative to these traditional channels. Furthermore, multi-sensory haptics provides the potential of displaying large amounts of haptic information in a small form factor by providing different types of tactile information. In this thesis, a multi-sensory haptic device is presented which uses lateral skin stretch, radial squeeze, and vibration components. In a cue identification task, the multi-sensory device performed better than a single-sensory device, encouraging the use of multi-sensory devices for language transmission. The device was then used for language transmission and subjects learned to understand English through the presentation of phonemes as haptic cues through a 100 minute training protocol.
