The Maxima Haptics Package -- A Tool for Symbolic Analysis of Haptics and Teleoperation
The Maxima Haptics Package is a free software package for symbolic analysis of linear models of haptic devices and teleoperators. From a mechanical model of the haptic device, the...

The Effect of Stiffness and Curvature on the Haptic Identification of Surfaces
We performed experiments to investigate how humans acquire an internal representation of virtual objects through the execution of reaching movements across the object surface. Sub...

Fundamental Limits in the Rendering of Virtual Haptic Textures
We discuss the properties of force-feedback haptic simulation systems that fundamentally limit the re-creation of periodic gratings, and hence, of any texture. These include sampl...

A First Investigation into the Effectiveness of Tactons
This paper reports two experiments relating to the design of Tactons (or tactile icons). The first experiment investigated perception of vibro-tactile “roughness” (created usi...

The Design and Evaluation of a Vibrotactile Progress Bar
We present an investigation into the use of Tactons to present progress information. Progress bars are common but must compete for screen space and visual attention with other vis...
