Keynote Address : Haptic Feedback for Virtual Reality
نویسنده
چکیده
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 interactions involves precise collision detection, real-time force computation, and high control-loop bandwidth. This results in a large computation load which requires multi-processor parallel processing on networked computers. Applications for haptics-intensive VR simulations include CAD model design and assembly. Improved technology (wearable computers, novel actuators, haptic toolkits) will increase the use of force/tactile feedback in future VR simulations.

Keynote Address: The Challenges of Large–Volume Haptics
Haptics is gaining ground as an important sensorial channel that enhances virtual reality interactions. Current commercial interfaces give the user the ability to touch and feel virtual objects. Extending haptics to large volumes is very desirable due to the new generation large-volume displays. However, the work envelope over which such haptic feedback can be produced in VR is limited by the d...

متن کاملCan Haptic Feedback Improve the Perception of Self-Motion in Virtual Reality?
This paper describes a psychological experiment which was conducted to evaluate the influence of haptic feedback on the perception of self-motion in virtual reality. Participants were asked to estimate the angle of one turn made during a passive visual navigation. Sometimes, during the turn, a haptic feedback was sent to the dominant hand of the participants. This haptic feedback consisted in r...
