Packetization interval of haptic media in networked virtual environments

This paper deals with the packetization interval of haptic media in networked virtual environments. We here handle work in which a user moves an object by manipulating a haptic interface device. In previous studies, we packetize haptic media on capturing them. In this paper, we propose a scheme which lengthens the packetization interval and evaluate the efficiency of the work by experiment. Experimental results show that the packetization interval of several milliseconds produces higher efficiency of the work. We also examine the influences of the packetization interval and network latency on the efficiency of the work in the proposed scheme.
