A method of intermediate space for controlling haptic interfaces is characterized by updating
a virtual plane at a low frequency while maintaining a high update rate at force control loop …

The design of a four degree-of-freedom, force-reflecting manipulandum for manual
interaction with virtual environments is presented. The device emulates a handtool which the …

The performance of a haptic interface is often reported in terms of the dynamic range of
impedances it may represent. At the low end, the range is typically limited by inherent …

The recent addition of force and touch feedback to virtual reality simulations has enhanced
their realism. Research on haptics interfaces is now extended to physical modeling of …

The research presented investigated the effects of haptic display modalities on human
performance in virtual environments. Force feedback information was presented through …

Tactile displays are used to convey small-scale force and shape information to the tip of the
finger. In this paper, we present a 6/spl times/6 tactile shape display that uses commercial …

We propose a new concept of visual/haptic interfaces called WYSIWYF display. The
proposed concept provides correct visual/haptic registration using a vision based object …

This paper considers whether a passive isometric input device, such as a Spaceball/sup
TM/, used together with visual feedback, could provide the operator with a pseudo-haptic …

Haptic feedback is known to improve 3D interaction in virtual environments but current
haptic interfaces remain complex and tailored to desktop interaction. In this paper, we …

An event-based method is proposed to improve realism in haptic displays. Many interesting
interactions, for example tapping on a stiff environment, are characterized by ringing and …
