چکیده
The incorporation of the sense of touch (haptic sense) into virtual reality (VR) has considerable potential to enhance the realism of virtual environments and make VR accessible to blind people. This paper summarises a series of investigations into the haptic perception of texture and object size/angularity in VR, with two haptic devices. Guidelines for the creation of haptic environments for blind and sighted individuals are also presented.

The use of haptic virtual environments by blind people
This paper describes two studies concerning the use of haptic virtual environments for blind people. The studies investigated the perception of virtual textures and the perception of the size and angles of virtual objects. In both studies, differences in perception by blind and sighted people were also explored. The results have implications for the future design of VEs in that it cannot be ass...
متن کاملActive Perception-Based Haptic Texture Sensor
Surface texture is one of the important cues for human beings to identify objects. Haptic texture measurement is necessary for object recognition by touch. This paper presents a novel design of a haptic texture sensor by imitating human active texture perception. A thin polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) film is used as the sensitive element to fabricate a high-accuracy, high-speed-response haptic ...
متن کاملHaptic Interfaces
In general the word " haptic " refers to the sense of touch. This sense is essentially twofold, including both cutaneous touch and kinesthetic touch. Cutaneous touch refers to the sensation of surface features and tactile perception and is usually conveyed through the skin. Kinesthetic touch sensations, which arise within the muscles and tendons, allow us to interpret where our limbs are in spa...
متن کاملHaptic Technology - A Sense of Touch
Haptics is the science of applying touch (tactile) sensation and control to interact with computer applications. Haptic device gives people a sense of touch with computer generated environments, so that when virtual objects are touched, they seem real and tangible. Haptic technology refers to technology that interfaces the user with a virtual environment via the sense of touch by applying force...
متن کاملSpringer Handbook of Robotics: Chapter 30
The word haptics, believed to be derived from the Greek word haptesthai, means related to the sense of touch. In the psychology and neuroscience literature, haptics is the study of human touch sensing, specifically via kinesthetic (force/position) and cutaneous (tactile) receptors, associated with perception and manipulation. In the robotics and virtual reality literature, haptics is broadly de...
