Preliminary Two Dimensional Haptic Thresholds and Task Performance Enhancement
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many tasks may be performed with greater efficiency and speed with haptic assistance. Using the Penbased Haptic Display, a low-power, low-friction, and high-precision device, we performed two separate experiments to measure two properties of human/haptic interactions. In the first experiment, we measured the level of force at which a subject may detect the presence of haptic feedback at a 71% accuracy level using a converging adaptive threshold algorithm. The average haptic threshold of eleven subjects was 20.8 milliNewtons. The second experiment quantifies changes in task performance using Fitts’ Law. We measured improvements at three force levels compared to no force.

Human Interaction with Small Haptic Effects
This research investigated the ability of subjects to detect small haptic effects, and the associated gains in task performance with various configurations of haptic stimulus. Variations in amplitude, shape, and pulse duration were studied. An adaptive thresholding method was used to obtain detection thresholds for actively explored haptic icons ranging in size from 3 to 5 mm, smooth vs rough a...

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 ...

Handheld devices are enhancing many aspects of our lives. As increasingly complex devices appear with decreasing form factors, haptics may become an essential tool for interacting with them. In this regime of operation, issues of power, weight and volume are of significant importance. The haptic thresholds of the index finger for active exploration of a two dimensional virtual environment for t...
متن کاملVirtual Peg-in-Hole Performance Using a 6-DOF Magnetic Levitation Haptic Device: Comparison with Real Forces and with Visual Guidance Alone
We describe two experiments using three testbeds (real, virtual and vision-only) for comparison of user performance during 3-D peg-in-hole tasks. Tasks are performed using a six-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) magnetic levitation haptic device. The experimental design allows a user to experience real and virtual forces using the same device. The first experiment compares real and virtual tasks. In th...
