— 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 ...
An analytical model for cutting of a plate of material with a pair of scissors is presented in terms of concepts of contact and fracture mechanics. The forces of contact between t...
It is necessary to ascertain texture perception of humans in developing tactile devices that create or detect lifelike texture. In this paper, the relationship between object surf...
In this paper, we present a multi-modal data perceptualization system used to analyze the benefits of augmenting a volume docking problem with other perceptual cues, particularly...

The Fingertip Haptic Display (FHD) is a five bar mechanism developed at the University of Washington for haptic interaction with the fingertip of the operator. The twodegree-of-...

This paper describes the last of three experiments that investigate relative motion between a surface and the fingertip (slip) as part of a larger program of research on “finger...

The development of a device that enables haptic foot interaction for communication over a network is presented. Considering the physical properties of feet we demonstrate that fee...
Haptic devices can be used to visualize information. As well as representing tangible surfaces and forces to enhance virtual training simulators for instance, haptic devices have ...
