Experiments in Planar Haptic Contour Exploration

We present some experimental results concerning exploration of planar contours (more specifically, polygons) using a 2–D haptic device, the Logitech Wingman mouse. With respect to previous work, our project focused on improving the contour tracing experience using the effects provided by the Immersion TouchSense API.
