Haptic Feedback for Virtual Reality

Haptic feedback is a crucial sensorial modality in virtual reality interactions. Haptics means both force feedback (simulating object hardness, weight, and inertia) and tactile feedback (simulating surface contact geometry, smoothness, slippage, and temperature). Providing such sensorial data requires desk-top or portable special-purpose hardware called haptic interfaces. Modeling physical inte...

Human Kinematic Factor for Haptic Manipulation: The Wrist to Thumb

The range of human kinematic motion as well as force resolution should be known for design of a haptic device. In addition, a haptic interface can be designed more easily when master and slave devices are the same kinematically. However, human kinematic factors have not been analyzed and applied deeply because of their complexity. Although calibration techniques have been developed, there is a ...

Designing with Haptic Feedback

Haptic feedback is a design element for human-computer interfaces, and this paper discusses when and how it can be used to best effect in interactive applications. It begins with consideration of the unique attributes of the touch sense in physiological and psychological terms, and the nature of information and control that touching provides. It reviews where active touching helps, by setting f...

Haptic Feedback Steering Wheel

In uncoupled steering systems such as drive by wire, it is necessary for the driver to feel a simulated reaction torque related to tire/road interactions. To investigate this haptic necessity, we constructed a simple stationary force feedback steering wheel. This paper describes a low cost force feedback steering wheel system and introduces several driving events to validate the unit’s fidelity...
