This is very interesting, because I haven't really paid that much
attention to the temperature, but it definitely has an impact on any task.
I've always lived with more or less cold Finnish winters. :)

Unquestionably cold hands have more difficulty with any kind of task. I'm
originally from Texas, always hated gloves, but my West Virginia husband has
shown me the value of the things, so wearing them outside helps keep my
hands from getting as cold. It makes a difference with hand tasks when I
come in.

Subject: [optacon-l] Finger sensitivity
During tests I noticed finger sensitivity seems to depend a lot on
temperature. Feeling actuators running at low intensity seems much less
reliable with relatively cold hands. Is this common experience and any
problem in practice when using an Optacon?
On the other hand, now that I'm testing around 250Hz the actuators
sometimes seem to sting/hurt even at fairly low intensities. It's kind of
like feeling a needle sting. Lower frequencies are more comfortable even
at much higher intensities. Anyone share such experiences?
BTW, I just placed a picture and description of my setup on the weblog:
