— We present an algorithm that determines the point on a convex parametric surface patch that is closest to a given (possibly moving) point. Any initial point belonging to the su...
In this paper we propose a new set of primitives to realize a large-area covering realistic tactile display. They stimulate the skin surface with suction pressure (SPS method) as ...
Interest in the use of tactile information displays has grown rapidly in recent years. However, relatively little research has been conducted to explore any cognitive and/or atten...
People rely on tactile edge localization to ascertain the location and structure of edges. When pressure is applied to the skin, skin mechanoreceptors convert compressive stress/s...
In this paper, we describe a framework for comparing task performance in real and virtual environments. Realistic graphics, rear projection, haptics and rapid prototyping are used...
