Product Description

Product Description

Haptic interface is becoming an increasingly important component of immersive systems (multimedia). Haptics refers to the modality of touch and the sensation of shape and texture an observer feels when exploring a virtual object. Contributors to this volume represent the full range of haptics research, from system control hardware through interface design, compression and capture of data, to human factors and applications.

From the Back Cover

Get a feel for the virtual world.

Devices, rendering, and control of haptic interfaces
Human factors engineering
Practical applications in training and museum environments
Assistive technologies for people with disabilities

Haptics, the science of virtual touch, is the latest frontier in VR interface development. Modeling tactile features such as shape, texture, and density, haptics offers extensive applications for training simulators, entertainment and gaming, museum displays, and assistive technologies for the disabled.

In this book, experts from the fields of communication, computer science, and engineering bring together the most current research in this rapidly emerging field. Topics include:

Controlling the haptic interface: modeling, control, measurement, visualization, and rendering
Managing haptic data: libraries, compression, and Internet applications
Human factors: detection thresholds, probe design, and systems for display and feedback
Implementation: case studies and future plans

Discover the broad variety of influences and applications in this expanding field with Touch in Virtual Environments: Haptics and the Design of Interactive Systems.
