Haptic display of visual images

چکیده
We describe an implemented system for touching 3D objects depicted in visual images using a two dimensional, force-re ecting haptic interface. The system constructs 3D geometric models from real 2D stereo images. The force feedback at each position is computed to provide the sensation of moving a small ball over the surface of the 3D object.

Haptic Holography: A Primitive Computational Plastic
We describe our work on haptic holography, a combination of computational modeling and multimodal spatial display, which allows a person to see, feel, and interact with three-dimensional freestanding holographic images of material surfaces. In this paper, we combine various holographic displays with a force-feedback device to render multimodal images with programmatically prescribed material pr...
متن کاملA Tactile Palette to Translate Graphics for the Visually Impaired
Spatial haptic displays, such as electrostatic vibration (electrovibration) based friction displays, augment flat panels and surfaces with spatially arranged tactile content. Such devices can be useful for the visually impaired to translate visual images to tactile ones on demand. In this paper, we explore a tactile palette that consisted of a set of six perceptually distinct tactile stimuli co...
متن کاملAutostereoscopic and Haptic Visualization for Space Exploration and Mission Design
We have developed a multi-modal virtual environment set-up by fusing visual and haptic images through the use of a new autostereoscopic display and a force-feedback haptic device. Most of the earlier visualization systems that integrate stereo vision and touch have utilized polarized or shutter glasses for stereovision. In this paper, we discuss the development stages and components of our set-...
متن کاملSee-through Sheet Visual Display for Haptic Device Using Flexible Sheet
A haptic device using flexible sheet such as rubber has already been proposed. Controlling the bias tension of the sheet, the device varies compliance of the sheet in the normal direction; users can feel compliance of various virtual objects if they touch the sheet. This device is integrated into a visual and haptic display. The haptic device uses transparent flexible sheet, and a liquid crysta...
متن کاملSmartTouch - Augmentation of Skin Sensation with Electrocutaneous Display
An electrocutaneous display system composed of three layers is implemented for augmentation of skin sensation. The first layer has electrodes on the front side of a thin plate, the second has optical sensors on the reverse side of the plate, and the third is a thin film force sensor between the other two layers. Visual images captured by the sensor are translated into tactile information, and d...
