Haptic Task Constraints fo 3D Interaction

چکیده
We have created a haptically enabled fish tank VR that we call Haptic-GeoZui3D that utilizes a set of haptic widget and data object elements to support rapid and intuitive interaction within a large geographical data space. We leverage the center of workspace navigation metaphor with a Phantom 1.0 haptic device situated in a fish tank VR arrangement to provide a synergistic environment for developing, demonstrating and evaluating these haptic elements. We have developed several principles to guide our effort, chief of which is the notion that haptic forces should be used to provide constraints on user tasks, rather than mimic physical object forces. This paper provides a detailed overview of Haptic-GeoZui3D and it’s application in path planning for Autonomous Undersea Vehicles (AUVs), as well as some ideas for future development.

Haptic-geozui3d: Exploring the Use of Haptics in Auv Path Planning
We have developed a desktop virtual reality system that we call Haptic-GeoZui3D, which brings together 3D user interaction and visualization to provide a compelling environment for AUV path planning. A key component in our system is the PHANTOM haptic device (SensAble Technologies, Inc.), which affords a sense of touch and force feedback – haptics – to provide cues and constraints to guide the ...
متن کاملA 6DOF Interaction Method for the Virtual Training of Minimally Invasive Access to the Spine
Minimally invasive procedures become increasingly popular due to their potential advantages. The correct choice of access to the operation area is essential for a safe and successful surgery. Besides traditional training options (e.g. cadaver-based,) virtual training systems gain importance due to their flexibility and cost efficiency. We developed a novel 3D interaction method to improve the u...
متن کاملAugmenting 3D Interactions with Haptic Guide in Large Scale Virtual Environments
3D interaction techniques play a vital role in virtual environments’(VEs) enrichment and have profound effects on the user’s performance and sense of presence. In this context haptic feedback may be useful to assist the user in complex tasks particularly in the absence of efficient depth cues. In this paper we propose and evaluate two haptic guides (spherical and conical) for object selection. ...
متن کاملInteraction Metaphors for Modeling Virtual Hair using Haptic Interfaces
Shaping realistic hairstyles for digital characters is a difficult, long and tedious task. The lack of appropriate interaction metaphors enabling efficient and simple, yet accurate hair modeling further aggravates the situation. This paper presents 3D interaction metaphors for modeling virtual hair using haptic interfaces. We discuss user tasks, ergonomic aspects, as well as haptics-based styli...
متن کاملExtending DIMPLE: a rigid body haptic simulator for interactive control of sound
We previously introduced DIMPLE, a software environment allowing the run-time creation of a physically dynamic, haptically-enabled virtual scene using the Open Sound Control (OSC) protocol [18]. Object properties could be requested over OSC to allow modulation of parameters for sound synthesis or visualization. Examples were given of PureData patches that controlled such scenes, making haptic v...
