Haptic interaction in virtual environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a haptic rendering framework that allows the tactile display of complex virtual environments. This framework allows surface constraints, surface shading, friction, texture and other effects to be modeled solely by updating the position of a representative object, the “virtual proxy.” This abstraction reduces the task of the haptic servo control loop to the minimization of the error between user’s position and that of the proxy. This framework has been implemented in a system that is able to haptically render virtual environments of a complexity that is near and often in excess of the capabilities of current interactive graphic systems.

Stable Haptic Interaction with Switched Virtual Environments
This paper investigates haptic interaction with virtual environments composed of objects with diverse dynamic properties. Passivity is often used for stability analysis of haptic systems. We demonstrate that when the dynamics of the virtual environment during the interaction changes, the approaches using traditional notion of passivity fail. We then show that a recently proposed notion of passi...
متن کاملInteraction in Distributed Virtual Environments
This course will describe the main challenges faced when building engaging shared virtual environments supporting complex behaviour and interaction, and provide discussions on techniques that can be adopted to support some of these. In order to build such environments, it is necessary to combine high quality graphics, better modes of interaction, rich behavioural simulations and appropriate dis...

متن کاملStable haptic interaction with virtual environments
A haptic interface is a kinesthetic link between a human operator and a virtual environment. This paper addresses fundamental stability and performance issues associated with haptic interaction. It generalizes and extends the concept of a virtual coupling network, an artificial link between the haptic display and a virtual world, to include both the impedance and admittance models of haptic int...

Collaborative haptic environments, multimodal interaction and communication, hand over task, experiment. Object manipulation is an important activity in everyday life that can also be performed in virtual environments. In the study presented here the extent to which haptic force feedback improves performance when a person hands over a virtual object to another is investigated. Joint manipulatio...
