Today's product designer is being asked to develop high quality, innovative products at an
ever increasing pace. To meet this need, an intensive search is underway for advanced …

This paper presents an approach for the integration of Virtual Reality (VR) and Computer-
Aided Design (CAD). Our general goal is to develop a VR–CAD framework making possible …

The product design process involves intensive manipulation of graphical data, from pencil
sketches to CAD files. The use of graphic software is common among professionals in this …

In this paper, we first propose an implicit surface to B-spline surface haptic interface, which
provides both force and torque feedback. We then present a new haptic sculpting system for …

Platforms capable of generating rich haptic feedback are usually quite expensive and under
strict proprietary protection. In addition, most of them are not portable and do not deliver a …

This paper presents a system development that extends haptic modeling to a number of key
aspects in product development. Since haptic modeling has been developed based on …

Recently haptic shape modeling has got a momentum in industrial and conceptual design.
In this paper, a real-time haptic interface of synthesized shape modeling and haptic function …

We describe M4, the multi-modal mesh manipulation system, which aims to provide a more
intuitive desktop interface for freeform manipulation of 3D meshes. The system combines …

Les travaux présentés dans cette thèse traitent de l'utilisation de la Réalité Virtuelle (RV) et
plus particulièrement du retour d'effort pour améliorer l'interaction dans les applications de …

T his paper presents work from a collaborative project between Loughborough University
