The Effects of Hand Motion on Haptic Perception of Force Direction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Most studies on the haptic perception of force direction have been conducted without hand movements, whereas hand movements are normally required in real-world applications. This paper reports a study on the perception of haptic force direction during hand movement. Discrimination thresholds for force direction were determined for two hand movement speeds, slow and fast, and for five reference force directions. The results show that the perception of force direction is not affected by hand movement speed. We also found that the perception of force direction was not impaired by the hand motion, nor by the direction of the reference force.

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 ...
متن کاملEffects of Haptic Information on the Perception of Dynamic 3-D Movement
This study examined effects of hand movement on visual perception of 3-D movement. I used an apparatus in which a cursor position in a simulated 3-D space and the position of a stylus on a haptic device could coincide using a mirror. In three experiments, participants touched the center of a rectangle in the visual display with the stylus of the force-feedback device. Then the rectangle's surfa...
متن کاملCan Haptic Feedback Improve the Perception of Self-Motion in Virtual Reality?
This paper describes a psychological experiment which was conducted to evaluate the influence of haptic feedback on the perception of self-motion in virtual reality. Participants were asked to estimate the angle of one turn made during a passive visual navigation. Sometimes, during the turn, a haptic feedback was sent to the dominant hand of the participants. This haptic feedback consisted in r...
متن کاملHaptic perception of linear extent.
The perception of linear extent in haptic touch appears to be anisotropic, in that haptically perceived extents can depend on the spatial orientation and location of the object and, thus, on the direction of exploratory motion. Experiments 1 and 2 quantified how the haptic perception of linear extent depended on the type of motion (radial or tangential to the body) when subjects explored differ...
متن کاملGeneralized movement representation in haptic perception.
The extraction of spatial information by touch often involves exploratory movements, with tactile and kinesthetic signals combined to construct a spatial haptic percept. However, the body has many tactile sensory surfaces that can move independently, giving rise to the source binding problem: when there are multiple tactile signals originating from sensory surfaces with multiple movements, are ...
