The Tactile Language Design Methodology takes a systematic approach to the design of tactile communication. The methodology leverages the systems engineering lifecycle, research on human perception and the cognition of touch, and practical considerations for fielding a usable tactile communication system. Application of the methodology to the development of squad level tactile communications is presented to illustrate the use of the methodology.
