Design and Psychophysical Study of Volume Compression for Haptic Rendering

The paper specifies a novel coder/decoder that compresses sequences of 3D texture data to support the haptic rendering of animated volumes. Lossy compression gives 25% of the original size. Lossy compression and clipping gives 3% but requires the renderer to query for new data when the point of contact moves. We evaluated the codec
