Handheld Haptics: A USB Media Controller with Force Sensing
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss design principles for a handheld haptic device, scenarios for their use, and our implementation of a portable handheld haptic device following these principles. Handheld devices offer unique challenges and opportunities for haptics: they are compact, simple and consequently low cost, while promising comfort, low fatigue, and affordances for many useful tasks such as controlling digital media. We also describe the implementation of a semi -portable handheld force feedback display consisting of single actuated degree of freedom, orthogonal force sensing, and a USB controller for ease of connectivity to a variety of hosts.

CLAW: A Multifunctional Handheld Haptic Controller for Grasping, Touching, and Triggering in Virtual Reality -0.6cm
CLAW is a handheld virtual reality controller that augments the typical controller functionality with force feedback and actuated movement to the index finger. Our controller enables three distinct interactions (grasping virtual object, touching virtual surfaces, and triggering) and changes its corresponding haptic rendering by sensing the differences in the user’s grasp. A servo motor coupled ...
متن کاملAdaptive haptic rendering for time-varying haptic and video frame rates in multi-modal interactions
In multi-modal interactions including haptics, problems such as input sensor noise, temporal mismatch between graphics and haptics, and non-constant refresh rates may cause non-smooth force/torque display. This paper proposes temporal smoothing technique for haptic interaction using a sensing glove inmulti-modal applications. The proposed technique employs two processes: (1) a noise reduction m...
متن کاملTouch Screens and Touch Surfaces are Enriched by Haptic Force-Feedback
Greek word haptikos (from haptesthai, to grasp or touch). For touch user interfaces, the term typically refers to a tactile sensation or force-feedback that users experience when touching the surface. Conventional touch screens do not provide the tactile sensation of mechanical buttons and knobs, resulting in a less satisfying experience. Haptics technology can reproduce the same feel or tactil...
متن کاملExperimental Evaluation of Haptic Control for Human Activated Command Devices
Haptics refers to a widespread area of research that focuses on the interaction between humans and machine interfaces as applied to the sense of touch. A haptic interface is designed to increase the realism of tactile and kinesthetic sensations in applications such as virtual reality, teleoperation, and other scenarios where situational awareness is considered important, if not vital. This pape...
متن کاملAnthropomorphism as a pervasive design concept for a robotic assistant
CORA is a robotic assistant whose task is to collaborate with a human operator on simple manipulation or handling tasks. Its sensory channels comprising vision, audition, haptics, and force sensing are used to extract perceptual information about speech, gestures and gaze of the operator, and object recognition. The anthropomorphic robot arm makes goaldirected movements to pick up and hand-over...
