Interacting with virtual objects with haptic feedback directly using the user's hand (hand-
based haptic interaction) has attracted increasing attention. Due to the high degrees of …

Upon publication almost 15 years ago, the first edition almost instantly became a trusted
reference, setting the stage for the coming decade, in which the explosion in research and …

This study aimed to examine how the levels of physical fidelity of controllers (high, mid and
low) and task repetitions (four trials) influence undergraduate students' perceived task load …

Natural hand-based interaction should feature hand motion that adapts smoothly to the
tracked user's motion, reacts robustly to contact with objects in a virtual environment, and …

Operations such as object manipulation and palpation rely on the fine perception of contact
forces, both in time and space. Haptic simulation of grasping, with the rendering of contact …

The command of haptic devices for rendering direct interaction with the hand requires
thorough knowledge of the forces and deformations caused by contact interactions on the …

“Haptic rendering” or “haptic display” can be broadly defined as conveying information about
virtual objects or data to a user through the sense of touch. Among all applications of haptic …

Grounded haptic devices can provide a variety of forces but have limited working volumes.
Wearable haptic devices operate over a large volume but are relatively restricted in the …

Natural interaction with virtual objects relies on two major technology components: hand
tracking and hand-object physics simulation. There are functional solutions for these two …

Weight perception of virtual objects during manipulating them in an immersive virtual reality
(VR) environment can increase a sense of presence in the VR environment of a user …
