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 virtual environments (VEs) are computer-generated environments within which
human users can touch, feel, and manipulate virtual objects in real time through force or …

computer control of the forces exerted on users through haptic interfaces adds physically
tangible sensations to 3d imagery. much as a graphic display lets you see computer …

The primary topic of this research was the implementation and programming of a force
reflecting haptic interface, known as the PHANToM (Personal Haptic iNTerface Mechanism) …

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 …

From the Book: Preface The haptic interface is becoming an increasingly important
component of immersive systems. Haptics refers to the modality of touch and the sensation …

The interfacing of force-feedback devices to computers adds touchability in computer
interactions, called computer haptics. Computer haptics has two components (1) collision …

Haptic display is an emerging technology wherein a person's sensation of touch is used to
interface with machines. This research is directed toward the development of force reflecting …

It is well known that sense of touch is inevitable for understanding the real world. The use of
force feedback to enhance computer-human interaction has often been discussed. A haptic …

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 …
