(continued mandate 47) : In this study, user perceptions were collected using a video illustrating FRMI functionalities. This study did not expose end-users to actual use of FRMI in an ecological environment. Following these evaluations, it was decided that the tactile interface should be redeveloped further, and that evaluations should continue in ecological environments, i.e. with actual use of the FRMI.
