Haptic Interface Using Estimatio of Box Contents Metaphor
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a new haptic interface for handheld devices using the “estimation of box contents” metaphor. This metaphor refers to a situation in which a person shakes a box to determine what is contained in it. In this interface, a handheld device is compared to a box, and the information contained in the device is compared to an object contained in the box. The user can determine if information is present by shaking the device. With this type of interaction, the user can use handheld devices in the same way that he or she uses non-information tools. This is an approach to equalizing information device operation and non-information tool operation by using haptic interactions. We construct a prototype device to examine the applicability of this interface. The experimental result reveals there is a possibility of simplifying the structure of the system by leveraging the periodicity of shaking.

Haptic experience and the design of drawing interfaces
Haptic feedback has the potential to enhance users’ sense of being engaged and creative in their artwork. Current work on providing haptic feedback in computer-based drawing applications has focused mainly on the realism of the haptic sensation rather than the users’ experience of that sensation in the context of their creative work. We present a study that focuses on user experience of three h...

Haptic Interfaces have been used as cooperative systems to reproduce and simulate human actions. The Haptic Interface (HI) can be used as a tool capable of interacting dynamically with the operator using Reactive Robot (RR) technology. The RR systems provide to the HI the capability of interpreting the human actions and exert a more intelligent force feedback strategy. This paper deals with an ...
