Wearable, camera based, head–tracking systems use spatial image registration algorithms to align images taken as the wearer gazes around their environment. This allows for compu...
VizWear-Active is a wearable active vision system for distributed computing environments. It consists of wearable and infrastructure-side modules that autonomously and cooperative...
Soft objects are often desired in applications such as virtual surgery training. Soft object simulations are computationally intensive because object deformation involves numerica...
Force feedback is widely assumed to enhance performance in robotic surgery, but its benefits have not yet been systematically assessed. In this study we examine the effects of for...

Tactile displays are used to convey small-scale force and shape information to the fingertip. We describe a 6 x 6 tactile shape display design that is low in cost and easily const...

We describe two experiments using three testbeds (real, virtual and vision-only) for comparison of user performance during 3-D peg-in-hole tasks. Tasks are performed using a six-d...

This paper presents a study on the application of virtual fixtures as a control aid for performing telemanipulation or in the training environment. The implementation features bot...
When the human fingertip is pressed against a surface or bent, the hemodynamic state of the fingertip is altered due to mechanical interactions between the fingernail and bone. No...
