The sense of touch is one of the most powerful learning tools that humans have. Whenever
someone discovers something new, instinctively they want to hold it, poke at it, touch and …

This book deals with the force/tactile feedback technology and its virtual reality applications.
I had the opportunity to review another book by Burdea and Coiffet in the area of virtual …

Haptics is the study of how to couple the human sense of touch with a computer-generated
world. One problem with current virtual reality systems is the lack of stimulus for the sense of …

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 …

Vibrotactile feedback has found its way into human-machine interaction in recent years.
However, there are no easily accessible and recognized rules for designing this feedback …

The use of the tactile modality is not common in Human Computer Interaction. However,
there may be good reasons to do so. For example in situations in which the visual sense is …

Adding haptic feedback to virtual reality simulations and telepresence applications
increases immersion to human users. As for some applications the use of force-feedback …

Several systems have been proposed for incorporating haptic feedback into Human-
Computer Interactions. There are two types of haptic feedback. In one type, which we call" …

The explosion of software applications, digitally stored data and the subsequent growth in
on-line communities, has frequently been denied to visually impaired and blind computer …

For hand–object interaction in real situations the interplay between the local tactile
interaction and force interaction seems to be very important. In current haptic interfaces …
