The Proactive Desk : A New Force Display System for a Digital Desk Using a 2-DOF Linear Induction Moto

چکیده
The Proactive Desk is a new digital desk with haptic feedback. The Proactive Desk al lows a user to handle both virtual and real objects on a digital desk with a realistic feeling. We proposed it for a co-experience web that would enable peo ple to share the feelings and ex pe ri enc es of other users via the Internet. In the Proactive Desk, two linear induction motors are equipped to generate an omnidirectional translational force on a user's hand or a physical object on the desk without any mechanical link nor wire, thereby preserving the ad van tag es of a digital desk. In this paper, we report ap pli ca tions of the Proactive Desk and the performance of the fi rst trial model.

Escritoire: A Personal Projected Display
T he face of personal computing with its desktop metaphor has remained largely unchanged since the release of the Xerox Star in 1979. We created a system called the Escritoire to explore the issues in making and using a display that is much more like a real desk—the every day workspace that people use. Our system differs from the conventional interface in a number of ways: it provides much more...
متن کاملEnhancedMovie: Movie Editing on an Augmented Desk as a Large-sized Display
We introduce a movie editing system, “EnhancedMovie”, which is an application for an augmented desk system called the “EnhancedDesk.” We had previously developed this desk system, which uses a large-sized display and a finger-hand tracking system that supplies some types of gesture-inputs. We developed the movie editing system as an application for it, and proposed a new type of user interface ...
متن کاملA Haptic-Assisted Guidance System for Navigating Volumetric Data Sets
In this paper, a new approach for navigation assistance through sets of volumetric data is presented. This innovative method uses force feedback in two dimensions to guide the user to a region of interest. The haptic feedback is calculated under two methods and we explain the implementation of both approaches. The output is displayed by the Proactive Desk, a two dimensional force feedback devic...
متن کاملThe Escritoire: A Personal Projected Display
The Escritoire is a horizontal desk surface that uses two overlapping digital projectors to create a foveal display – a large interactive surface that has a high-resolution area to accommodate the user’s focus of attention. In contrast to high cost, multi-projector display walls for group presentations or scientific visualization, it is an augmentation of the personal computer, designed for com...
متن کاملA Human-Robot Interface Using an Extended Digital Desk
Much attention has recently been paid to Augmented Reality (AR) systems, which can enhance a h u man's daily life by blending multi-modal information with the real world. Most existing AR systems provide such information for humans by using monitor displays or see-through HMDs (head mounted d isplays) as interface devices. In applying AR to human-robot interfaces in teaching tasks, however, alt...
