Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

Haptic interface is becoming an increasingly important component of immersive systems (multimedia). Haptics refers to the modality of touch and the sensation of shape and texture an observer feels when exploring a virtual object. Contributors to this volume represent the full range of haptics research, from system control hardware through interface design, compression and capture of data, to human factors and applications.
