چکیده

Recently, haptic devices have been successfully incorporated into the human-computer interaction model. However, a drawback common to almost all haptic systems is that the user must be attached to the haptic device at all times, even though force feedback is not always being rendered. This constant contact hinders perception of the virtual environment, primarily because it prevents the user from feeling new tactile sensations upon contact with virtual objects. We present the design and implementation of an augmented reality system called VisHap that uses visual tracking to seamlessly integrate force feedback with tactile feedback to generate a “complete” haptic experience. The VisHap framework allows the user to interact with combinations of virtual and real objects naturally, thereby combining active and passive haptics. An example application of this framework is also presented. The flexibility and extensibility of our framework is promising in that it supports many interaction modes and allows further integration with other augmented reality systems.

Technical Report 2004-01-CIRL-CS-JHU Image Segmentation Through Energy Minimization Based Subspace Fusion

In this paper we present an image segmentation technique that fuses contributions from multiple feature subspaces using an energy minimization approach. For each subspace, we compute a per-pixel quality measure and perform a partitioning through the standard normalized cut algorithm [12]. To fuse the subspaces into a final segmentation, we compute a subspace label for every pixel. The labeling ...

Technical Report 2003-02-CIRL-CS-JHU Stereo-Based Direct Surface Tracking with Deformable Parametric Models

We present a general set of techniques for directly estimating and tracking deformable surfaces from a stream of rectified stereo pairs. These techniques are based on iterative updating of surface representations directly from image information and use no disparity search except during initialization. We perform the tracking through an iteratively re-weighted least squares minimization wherein ...

The SmartTool: A System for Augmented Reality of Haptics

Previous research on augmented reality has been mainly focused on augmentation of visual or acoustic information. However, humans can receive information not only through vision and acoustics, but also through haptics. Haptic sensation is very intuitive, and some researchers are focusing on making use of haptics in augmented reality systems. While most previous research on haptics is based on s...
