New haptic syringe device for virtual angiography training

A Haptic Virtual Environment for Industrial Training

This paper presents a haptic virtual environment application for industrial training. A choice of haptic devices (PHANTOM[15] and CyberForce/ CyberGrasp[10]) is used to perform a training exercise with the possibility of sharing virtual scene states with remote users to allow collaboration and remote observation. Furthermore, the application employs video textured avatars to improve face-to-fac...

Modeling Virtual Hands with Haptic Interface Device

For direct manipulation environment with force feedback, we propose a kind of string-based two-handed multi-fingers haptic interface device. The system can sense the positions of three fingertips and wrist on each of the user's hand. Force feedback can be perceived when the position of the finger comes into contact with the virtual object. We explain in detail about the algorithms used in the f...

MoVE: Mobiltiy Training in Haptic Virtual Environment

The proposed MoVE system is a virtual environment for shape learning and mobility training of the blind. Our goal is to provide an environment where a visually impaired person would be able to form cognitive maps of a new place they might visit in future. Cognitive maps are mental models of the relative locations and attribute phenomena of spatial environments. Ability to form cognitive maps is...

Wearable Vibrotactile Haptic Device for Stiffness Discrimination during Virtual Interactions

In this paper, we discuss the development of cost effective, wireless, and wearable vibrotactile haptic device for stiffness perception during an interaction with virtual objects. Our experimental setup consists of haptic device with five vibrotactile actuators, virtual reality environment tailored in Unity 3D integrating the Oculus Rift Head Mounted Display (HMD) and the Leap Motion controller...
