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. vibrotactile signals compression ratios tactile codecs perceptual ratings human sensory experience Full Text Additional Declarations No competing interests reported.
