Modeling Virtual Hands with Haptic Interface Device

4+4 Fingers Haptic Display in the Mixed Reality Environment

A system with direct manipulation environment is proposed. A user is allowed to use both of his/her hands to manipulate virtual objects in the simulated virtual world. 3D graphical displays with 3D virtual hands represented the user's real hands in the virtual world showing the manipulation works in the virtual world to the user. The 3D virtual hands move corresponding to the behavior of the re...

Mediators: Virtual Interfaces with Haptic Feedback

This paper presents an interface paradigm based on the concept of mediators: simple virtual entities that serve as interface to more complex environments. We present a prototype consisting of a Haptic Workstation—with force-feedback on both arms and hands and an HMD. The system is used to manipulate virtual objects (mediators) that play the role of a virtual interface for driving a car situated...

Virtual Robot Teaching for Humanoid Both-Hands Robots Using Multi-Fingered Haptic Interface

Design and Development of Two Concepts for a 4 Dof Portable Haptic Interface with Active and Passive Multi-point Force Feedback for the Index Finger

This research aims to develop a portable haptic master hand with 20 degrees of freedom (DOF). Master hands are used as haptic interfaces in master-slave systems. A master-slave system consists of a haptic interface that communicates with a virtual world or an end-effector for tele-operation, such as a robot hand. The thumb and fingers are usually modeled as a serial linkage mechanism with 4 DOF...
