Introduction
• Interfaces the user with a virtual environment via the sense of touch by applying forces, vibrations, and/or motions to the user.
• mechanical stimulation.
Definition
• Haptic technology, is a tactile feedback technology that takes advantage of a user’s sense of touch by applying forces, vibration and motions to the user.
• Haptics: “being able to come into contact with”
sense of touch
How it works?
PHANTOM
Other Haptic devices• Cyber glove:
• Specialized mouse: A multi agent system observes the user and helps in predicting the next move on the mouse.
Applications• Surgical Simulation and Medical Training:
remote surgery, with the central workstation and performs in various locations.
• Graphical user interfaces:
Advantages
• Easy to Access And Use.
• Conservation: Prototype not required during development, to check the accuracy and to touch the model.
Disadvantages
• Limited magnitude and not equally well in all directions: Algorithms ensure that component don’t saturate.
• Implementation is expensive.
• Haptics applications can be extremely complex, requiring highly specialized hardware.
Conclusion
• Solution for interacting with the virtual environment.
• Acts as an input and output device, tracking user physical manipulations as an input and providing realistic touch sensations as an output coordinated with onscreen events.
