Effect of Visuomotor Colocation on 3D Fitts' Task Performance in Physical and Virtual Environments

Given the ease that humans have with using a keyboard and mouse in typical, non-colocated computer interaction, many studies have investigated the value of co-locating the visual field and motor workspaces using immersive display modalities. Significant understanding has been gained by previous work comparing physical tasks against virtual tasks, visuo-motor co-location versus non-colocation, a...

Interaction with haptic feedback and co-location in virtual reality

This paper outlines a study into the effects of colocation of haptic and visual sensory modes in VR simulations. The study hypothesis is that co-location of these sensory modes will lead to improved task performance and enhanced sense of presence within a VR environment. Experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect on user performance of co-located haptic feedback. Results show that co-loc...

A Robust Controller with Online Authority Transformation for Dual User Haptic Training System

In this study, a force reflection control structure is developed for the surgery training haptic system. In the surgery training haptic system, the surgical operation is cooperatively performed by a trainer and a trainee. The participation of each surgeon in the operation is established through their own haptic consoles. Although the operation is primarily performed by the trainee, the trainer ...

Stiffness-Force Feedback in UAV Tele-operation

In the tele-operation of an uninhabited aerial vehicle (UAV), the operator and vehicle are physically separated. The limited sources of information of the environment, e.g., lack of a complete outside view, sounds, vehicle motions and vibrations, often lead to poor situation awareness. Tele-operation usually involves the use of a visual interface on a ground station, providing a navigation disp...
