Although people usually contact a surface with some area rather than a point, most haptic
devices allow a user to interact with a virtual object at one point at a time and likewise most …

In this work we present a new solution for correctly handling heterogeneous materials in
ChainMail models, which are widely used in medical applications. Our core method relies …

The modeling and simulation of deformable objects is a challenging topic in the field of
haptic rendering between human and virtual environment. In this paper, a novel and efficient …

In palpation procedure, medical doctors push and rub the organ's surface and they are
provided the sensation of distributed pressure and contact force (reflecting force) for …

This paper addresses a real-time haptic and graphic simulation system that allows a user to
grasp the internal structure of a volumetric deformable object by touching and feeling. We …

While we speak of the haptic model, we are still limited to a mass-spring representation or
an FEM. This paper proposes a unified model which haptically renders an object without …

In interacting with a soft object, both visual and haptic senses play major role in providing
the characteristics of the object. While visual feedback comes from the appearance of the …

This paper proposes the concept of inverse perlin noise which is a reverse process of perlin
noise. The proposed method enables users to feel the haptic sensation when he/she rubs …

CCNA is one of the most popular programs in the Cisco Networking Academy Program
(CNAP) community. There has been a major update to the course since June 2007, which …

This paper presents a unified haptic modeling method for physical systems irrespective of
their types. Previously, we have proposed an energy-based approach which haptically …
