Download or read book Immersive Multimodal Interactive Presence written by Angelika Peer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-03-05 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immersive Multimodal Interactive Presence presents advanced interdisciplinary approaches that connect psychophysical and behavioral haptics research with advances in haptic technology and haptic rendering. It delivers a summary of the results achieved in the IMMERSENCE European project and includes selected chapters by international researchers. Organized into two parts: I. Psychophysical and Behavioral Basis and II. Technology and Rendering, it is an excellent example of interdisciplinary research directed towards the advancement of multimodal immersive virtual environments with particular focus on haptic interaction. The twelve chapters of the book are grouped around three different scenarios representing different types of interactions in virtual environments: Person-Object (PO), Person-Object-Person (POP) and Person-Person (PP) interaction. Recent results of psychophysical and behavioral studies are reported along with new technological developments for haptic displays and novel haptic rendering techniques.

Book excerpt: Scholarpedia’s Encyclopedia of Touch provides a comprehensive collection of peer-reviewed articles written by leading researchers, detailing our current scientific understanding of tactile sensing and its neural substrates in animals including humans. The encyclopedia allows ideas and insights to be shared between researchers working on different aspects of touch and in different species, including research in synthetic touch systems. In addition, this encyclopedia raises awareness of research in tactile sensing and increases scientific and public interest in the field. The articles address subjects including tactile control, whiskered robots, vibrissal coding, the molecular basis of touch, invertebrate mechanoreception, fingertip transducers and tactile sensing. All the articles in this encyclopedia provide in-depth and state-of-the-art scholarly treatment of the academic topics concerned, making it an excellent reference work for academics, professionals and students.

Download or read book Responsive Polymer Surfaces written by Danqing Liu and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-07-20 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adopting an integrated approach, this book covers experiments, theory, and emerging applications. In the first part surfaces are described that change from flat to either a random corrugated or to a well-structured structure, while the second part deals with those surface structures integrated in the coating surface where the structures change their shape or dimension when addressed by an external trigger. A variety of materials are addressed, including liquid crystal polymers, hydrogels, hard acrylates, and soft silicones. The whole is rounded off by a discussion of various applications, including surface controlled flows in microfluidic systems. Of interest to chemists and engineers, researchers in industry and academia, as well as those working in the paint industry and hydrodynamics.

Download or read book Multi-finger Haptic Interaction written by Ignacio Galiana and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-07-08 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multi-finger Haptic Interaction presents a panorama of technologies and methods for multi-finger haptic interaction, together with an analysis of the benefits and implications of adding multiple-fingers to haptic applications. Research topics covered include: design and control of advanced haptic devices; multi-contact point simulation algorithms; interaction techniques and implications in human perception when interacting with multiple fingers. These multi-disciplinary results are integrated into applications such as medical simulators for training manual skills, simulators for virtual prototyping and precise manipulations in remote environments. Multi-finger Haptic Interaction presents the current and potential applications that can be developed with these systems, and details the systems’ complexity. The research is focused on enhancing haptic interaction by providing multiple contact points to the user. This state-of-the-art volume is oriented towards researchers who are involved in haptic device design, rendering methods and perception studies, as well as readers from different disciplines who are interested in applying multi-finger haptic technologies and methods to their field of interest.

Download or read book Novel Haptic Cues for UAV Tele-Operation written by Samantha Alaimo and published by Logos Verlag Berlin GmbH. This book was released on 2014-01-15 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Outlines three case studies: obstacle avoidance, wind gust rejection, and a combination of the two. In each case, Direct Haptic Aid (DHA) and Indirect Haptic Aid (IHA) systems are designed and compared against baseline performance with no haptic aid. This work aims to show that IHA is a valid and promising alternative to the other approaches, which fall into the DHA category.
