Design of a Haptic Graphing System
نویسندگان
چکیده
Interpretation and understanding of complex scientific data is enhanced by graphic representation. Haptic display of such graphical data adds kinesthetic feedback that further improves, or allows conceptualization. In this paper, we present a method for the haptic display of two dimensional data plots using a three degree of freedom force feedback device linked to a speech synthesizer to aid in navigation. This system is designed to benefit visually impaired and blind persons, as well as sighted scientists, teachers and students who need or desire an alternate means to explore information traditionally displayed visually.

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 کاملImplementation of Graphing Tools by Direct GUI Composition
we describe an object oriented design and flexible implementation of a set of graphing tools implemented by using only the standard graphical user interface widgets provided by an interactive program composition system developed at Siemens Corporate R&D. The system, SX/Tools, allows for the addition of arbitrary tools (widgets) by direct composition of a set of initial objects. Using this mecha...
متن کاملExamining Interaction Modality Effects Toward Engagement in an Interactive Learning Environment
The primary goals of interactive learning environments (ILEs) are to improve student engagement and learning outcomes. In this paper, we examine different tablet-based user interaction strategies within the domain of analytical geometry (i.e., the intersection of algebra and geometry) that supports active learning for math problem solving. From a learning technology view, we ground our work usi...
متن کاملRoad Departure Avoidance System Based on the Driver Decision Estimator
In this paper a robust road departure avoidance system based on a closed-loop driver decision estimator (DDE) is presented. The main idea is that of incorporating the driver intent in the control of the vehicle. The driver decision estimator computes the vehicle look ahead lateral position based on the driver input and uses this position to establish the risk of road departure. To induce a risk...
متن کاملSoft Tissue Modeling Using ANFIS for Training Diagnosis of Breast Cancer in Haptic Simulator
Soft tissue modeling for the creation of a haptic simulator for training medical skills has been the focus of many attempts up to now. In soft tissue modeling the most important parameter considered is its being real-time, as well as its accuracy and sensitivity. In this paper, ANFIS approach is used to present a nonlinear model for soft tissue. The required data for training the neuro-fuzzy mo...
