Haptic Collaboration over the Internet
نویسندگان
چکیده
We address the real-time collection and simultaneous broadcast of haptic information to multiple haptic session participants, so that collaborative exploration of objects is possible, even when users are equipped with disparate haptic devices, such as the PHANToM and the CyberGrasp. We have designed and are currently testing a prototype system for haptic collaboration over the Internet. The basic idea is to provide a framework for multiple users (each with his or her own haptic device connected to a computer) to share a common experience of touch. This will allow users to exert forces on each other through the network as well as exert forces on common objects.

Effective Cooperative Haptic Interaction over the Internet
We present a system that enables, for the first time, effective transatlantic haptic cooperation. We propose a technique for maintaining synchrony between simulations in a peer-to-peer system, while providing responsive direct manipulation for all users. The effectiveness of this is determined through extensive user trials involving concurrent haptic manipulation of a shared object. A CAD assem...
متن کاملThe Pitfalls in System Design for Distributed Virtual Environments: A Case Study
There is a common understanding amongst the games industry that the Internet is a poor network infrastructure that wreaks havoc on all game engines. This view is shared amongst the Distributed Virtual Environment (DVE) research community, who traditionally find the Internet as the main culprit for disruptions in the experience of endusers. In fact, the majority of the problems reside in the exi...
متن کاملA Collaborative Virtual Haptic Environment for Surgical Training and Tele-Mentoring
A collaborative hapto-visual virtual system consisting of two similar networked stations allowing two users to collaborate within a learning environment is designed and implemented. This system uses a server–client configuration for haptic rendering. The haptic component runs a real-time operating system and consequently allows for better response. A second component used for haptic collaborati...
