A Haptic Interface for a Virtual Exam of the Human Thigh

A Review on Applications of Haptic Systems, Virtual Reality, and Artificial Intelligence in Medical Training in COVID-19 Pandemic

This paper presents a survey on haptic technology, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence applications in medical training during the COVID-19 pandemic. Over the last few decades, there has been a great deal of interest in using new technologies to establish capable approaches for medical training purposes. These methods are intended to minimize surgerychr('39')s adverse effects, mostly w...

Simulation of the Admittance Control Based Haptic Interface Device

Implementation of a virtual tennis entertainment system with haptic behaviour

For most of the virtual reality systems, one of the major aims is to provide a vivid interaction platform between the human operators and the haptic devices. Through the user interface, a skillful operator can control the haptic devices to accomplish relatively complicated jobs in realtime. Generally, the main components of a virtual reality system include dynamic simulations, haptic devices an...

Work in Progress: Flatlab - An interactive learning environment for experi- ential learning, problem-based assessment, and dynamic instruction in engi- neering

The goal of this work in progress is to design a virtual environment that integrates experiential learning with assessment and teaching. The proposed FLATLAB is a Focused Learning, Assessment, and Teaching Laboratory with a visuo-haptic interface. Its design embodies ASK (Assessment, Student, and Knowledge) centered learning. This paper focuses on a FLATLAB module for kinematics and dynamics of...

The vBow: Development of a Virtual Violin Bow Haptic Human-Computer Interface

This paper describes the development of a virtual violin bow haptic human-computer interface, which senses bow position with encoders, to drive bowed-string physical model synthesis, while engaging servomotors, to simulate the haptic feedback of a violin bow on a string. Construction of the hardware and programming of the software are discussed, as well as the motivation for building the instru...
