A Haptic Mouse for an Immersive Interface

A Haptic Interface for Linked Immersive and Desktop Displays: Maintaining Sufficient Frame Rate for Haptic Rendering

We perceive the real world through many senses. Most Virtual Reality (VR) display systems, however, only present the illusion to our visual and sometimes audio senses. Walk-in display systems, such as a CAVE, allow users to see their own bodies as they interact with virtual objects. Collaborative virtual environments CVE allow many users to share the same virtual experience including the manipu...

THUMP: an immersive haptic console for surgical simulation and training.

Telerobotic systems are revolutionizing minimally invasive surgery (MIS), giving the surgeon complete control over precise dexterous movements of tiny robotic instruments. Such 'surgery-by-wire' approaches also create unique opportunities for simulation and training, as the surgeon operates at a computer-mediated haptic console. Possible extensions include offline training in simulated environm...

Immersive Haptic Interaction with Media

New 3D video representations enable new modalities of interaction, such as haptic interaction, with 2D and 3D video for truly immersive media applications. Haptic interaction with video includes haptic structure and haptic motion for new immersive experiences. It is possible to compute haptic structure signals from 3D scene geometry or depth information. This paper introduces the concept of hap...

Simulation of the Admittance Control Based Haptic Interface Device

Strings: A Haptic Interface

This paper presents my attempt to design an installation that investigates the bi-directional relation of affect we share with our environment. The focus is on the design of an innovative fabric prototype that presents a range of textural qualities to trigger bodily expressions, and which is also capable of perceiving such expressions itself in a tangible manner without the use of distant modes...
