Recent advances in man-machine interaction, telerobotics, telepresence and teleaction have shown that introducing the haptic modality to multimedia applications has the power to significantly widen their application range and to dramatically improve the user experience. Especially, the human body surface has been considered as an additional means of presenting information using vibrotactile display...
Haptics technology allows users to interact via the sense of touch by applying forces, vibrations and/or motions to users. With this technology, particularly by using force-feedback haptic devices (like stylus-based haptic devices), data directly generated by the user as he/she interacts with a system can be recorded and used-feature space- for authentication purposes. In this paper, nonlinear transformations...
As Haptic devices become more affordable and economical, research in Haptic-based virtual rehabilitation systems is gaining more interest. In addition to the benefits provided by virtual rehabilitation, Haptics offer force and tactile feedback which can be crucial for many upper and lower extremity rehabilitation. In this paper, we present such a system that provides a rich media environment for motor...
Haptic technology refers to the technology that connects the user to a computerized system via the sense of touch by applying forces, vibrations and/or motions to the user. With this technology it is possible to measure and record haptic data generated directly as users interact with the system. Haptics can be seen as a mechanism to extract behavioral features that characterize a biometric profile...
The science of haptics or haptic technology has received enormous attention in the last decade for multiple applications. A new promising example is the use of haptic-based systems for individual authentication. A user 's behavioral characteristics captured while interacting with a virtual scene are significantly more difficult to compromise than traditional means (i.e. login ID and passwords). Moreover,...
Haptics is the discipline that deals with the study of the complex sense of touch as an interface between human beings and machines. Haptic technology has been proven applicable and practical in many fields, including scientific visualization, medical training, authentication and other areas such as education and arts. This research investigates the usage of haptics as a mechanism to extract users'...
Haptic-based virtual rehabilitation systems have recently become a subject of interest. In addition to the benefits provided by virtual rehabilitation, they offer force and tactile feedback which can be crucial for many upper and lower extremity rehabilitation. In this paper, we present a system that uses haptics, in conjunction with virtual environments, to provide a rich media environment for motor...
In this paper, we present our work to extend a well known 3D graphic modeler - Blender - to support haptic modeling and rendering. The extension tool is named HAMLAT (haptic application markup language authoring tool). We describe the modifications and additions to the Blender source code which have been used to create HAMLAT. Furthermore, we present and discuss the design decisions used when developing...
In this paper, we present a collision detection algorithm for use in hapto-visual virtual environments containing highly- detailed, rigid, and dynamic models that are manipulated with probe-like haptic devices. Our approach is primarily motivated by the observation that highly detailed virtual models are typically represented by dense point clouds (specifically those that result from high-resolution...
