Virtual human (VH) experiences are receiving increased attention for training real-world interpersonal scenarios. Communication in interpersonal scenarios consists of not only spe...
The rapid and efficient creation of virtual environments has become a crucial part of virtual reality applications. In particular, civil and defense applications often require an...
Abstract. This paper proposes a nonlinear controller to extend the Zwidth of a haptic device. A time-domain passivity analysis of the Z-width diagram leads to the new haptic contro...
Abstract. The apparent mass of haptic device end-effector depends on its position inside the workspace. This paper presents a recursive algorithm to detect effective direction of g...

This paper focuses on developing a haptic rendering technique for cellular manipulation using image processing techniques and physically based models. The interaction forces betwee...
Abstract. We describe experiments that compared the perceived relative roughness of textured virtual walls synthesized with an accurately controlled haptic interface. Texture was m...
