Vibrotactile displays are expected to be useful and effective tools for presenting personal information. However, various external factors, such as the orientation of the tactor or pressure applied to it, affect the consistency of the vibration. Here, we propose a new robust mounting method for a traditional tactor using an elastic polymer. Results from simulated experiments using FEM and a user study indicate that our proposed method provides more consistent vibrotactile sensation than conventional methods, independent of outside forces.
