Manipulation and grasping have key importance in most types of interactions between
humans and the world surrounding them [1, 2]. Even if almost all existing haptic interfaces …

Haptic environments are user interfaces incorporating a haptic display device, most
commonly a point force device such as the PHANToM. Lederman and Klatzky's Exploratory …

Haptic interfaces provide users with force information while they are interacting with virtual
objects, allowing them to perform manipulation tasks and cooperate. Multi-finger haptic …

This paper presents an experiment of two finger grasping. The task considered is the peg-in-
hole and the simulated force feedback is cutaneous or kinesthetic. The kinesthetic feedback …

Multi-finger Haptic Interaction presents a panorama of technologies and methods for multi-
finger haptic interaction, together with an analysis of the benefits and implications of adding …

Haptic devices can be used to feel through the sense of touch what the user is watching in a
virtual scene. Force feedback devices provide kinesthetic information enabling the user to …

Since [years] we hear about Virtual Reality as a discipline that could potentially provide
benefits to many applications. Basically, the principle of Virtual Reality consists in stimulating …

Force feedback in tool-mediated interactions with the environment is important for successful
performance of complex tasks in our daily life as well as in specialized fields like medicine …

Conclusions The test was presented to some subjects, and the JND for each observer
resulted approximately 9 degrees. The experimentation pointed out the possibility to render …

Directed movements with a user's arms and hands are the basis of many types of human-
computer interaction. Several previous research projects have proposed or studied the idea …
