Organic Shape Modelling through Haptic Devices
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a sketching system for 3D organic shapes modeling and animation using virtual reality devices. On the hardware side, it is based on the Haptic WorkstationTM which conveys force feedback on the user arms (upper body limbs), and a Head Mounted Display to present the 3D generated images. On the software side, we use implicit surfaces modelling techniques such as metaballs. In fact, Designers feel well comfortable with this kind of primitives due to their ability in the organic shapes creation such as virtual humans. The proposed system provides an efficient alternative to produce advanced 3D shapes sketching.

Malleable and organic user interfaces have the potential to enable radically new forms of interactions and expressiveness through flexible, free-form and computationally controlled shapes and displays. This work, specifically focuses on particle jamming as a simple, effective method for flexible, shape-changing user interfaces where programmatic control of material stiffness enables haptic feed...
متن کاملModelling Soft Tissue Deformations using Principal Component Analysis and Haptic Devices
This paper describes a new technique to incorporate accurate mechanical deformations of soft tissue into interactive training simulators designed to teach medical procedures. The technique is based on pre-computing a representative set of deformations accurately, then encoding these using principal component analysis such that they can be reconstructed quickly using a small number of shape para...

Due to their versatile properties, robust behavior, facile processability and low cost, organic polymers have become the material of choice for an increasing number of mature and cutting-edge technologies. In the last decade or so, a new class of polymers capable of responding to external electrical stimulation by displaying significant size or shape change has emerged. These responsive materia...
متن کاملDisplay of Haptic Shape at Different Scales
This paper describes three haptic devices which can create the experience of haptic shape, each at a different scale. They operate by causing fingertip deformations that match the scale of the features of the objects being virtually touched. For large objects, shape display is obtained by the movement of the deformed contact area on the skin, for medium objects, display is given by the deformat...
