The Visual Haptic Workbench

چکیده
Multimodal interfaces have been shown to increase user performance for a variety of tasks. We have been investigating the synergistic benefits of haptic scientific visualization using an integrated, semi-immersive virtual environment. The Visual Haptic Workbench provides multimodal interaction; immersion is enhanced by head and hand tracking, haptic feedback, and additional audio cues. We present the motivation and design goals for this system, discuss its current implementation, and describe some initial applications. Preliminary results indicate that visualization combined with haptic rendering intuitively conveys the salient characteristics of scientific data.

متن کاملA passive stringed haptic system for immersive environments
We propose a passive haptic feedback system that can provide the user with grounded forces in a 3D manipulation space. A visual/haptic interaction is used to control forces returned by the system, which is composed of cables and a braking system. An experiment, consisting of two sessions of stickiness comparison tasks, is conducted to evaluate the device. The first session is done with the prop...
متن کامل22 The Visual Haptic Workbench
Haptic feedback is a promising interaction modality for a variety of applications. Successful examples include robot teleoperation [57], virtual prototyping [63], painting [4], and surgical planning and training [30,55]. Such applications are augmented with force or tactile feedback for two reasons: (1) To increase the realism of the simulation, and (2) To improve operator performance, which ca...
متن کاملThe Stringed Haptic Workbench: a New Haptic Workbench Solution
The workbench is an interesting semi-immersive configuration for interactive tasks. However, haptic feedback, i.e. force and tactile feedback, is one important cue which is missing. To the authors’ knowledge, the sole proposed solution consists in installing an arm force feedback device on one-screen workbenches. This solution, however, has several drawbacks. The arm can perturb the stereoscopi...
متن کاملDevelopment of String-based Force Display: SPIDAR
This paper presents the development of string-based force display system SPIDAR and its different versions. Ranging from a simple “pick and place” task to more complicated physical based interactions, SPIDAR has emerged as a distinguished haptic interface that have the following advantages: 1) scalability: with simple modification on its structure layout, SPIDAR can be fit to different working ...
