Haptic Technology

The document discusses haptics and haptic technology. It defines haptics as the science of applying touch sensation and control to computer interactions. Haptic technology allows users to physically interact with virtual or remote environments through touch. The document outlines different types of haptic feedback and systems, how touchscreens detect touch, applications of haptics in areas like virtual reality and accessibility, and concludes that further research is needed on best practices for using haptics in human-computer interaction.

OVERVIEW

Haptics?? The haptics continuum Types of haptic feedback Haptic systems How do devices sense touch. Importance and application Future and Researches Conclusion

HAPTIC: Related to touch. The science of applying touch (tactile) sensation and control to interaction with computer applications. HAPTIC TECHNOLOGY: An emerging interdisciplinary field for #Understanding the human haptic sensory and motor characteristics. #Developing a computer-controlled system that allows us to physically interact with a virtual or a remote environment through touch. COMPUTER HAPTICS: Its difficult to describe, better experienced.

WHY TO USE HAPTICS


To increase the realism of an object -GAMES To increase presence or immersion VIRTUAL REALITY To constrain the user to an object -HAPTIC DESKTOP-Scroll bar To produce richer interaction or visualization

HAPTIC VISUALISATION

To overcome limitation in other modalities -INTERFACES FOR THE PHYSICALLY IMPAIRED

HOW DO TOUCHSCREEN MONITORS KNOW WHERE YOU ARE TOUCHING????

There are three basic systems that are used to recognize a person's touch: Resistive Capacitive Surface acoustic wave

RENDERING:The process of computing and generating forces in response to use interactions with virtual objects

Graphical Rendering: process of displaying synthetically generated 2D/3D visual stimuli to the user Haptic Rendering: process of displaying synthetically generated 2D/3D haptic stimuli to the user

CONCLUSION..
#HAPTICS COULD PROVIDE BENEFIT TO MANY DOMAINS

Medicine: Manipulating robots for minimally invasive surgery. Telemedicine,remote diagnosis. Accesibility for the disabled environment Entertainment: Videogames,stimulators that enables the user to feed and manipulate the objects in the environment. And in many more fields as we have seen earlier.

#VERY LITTLE IS KNOWN ABOUT HOW BEST TO USE HAPTIC TECHNOLOGY AND HAPTIC SENSE DURING HUMAN COMPUTER INTERACTION. #FURTHER HAPTIC RESEARCH IS REQUIRED.

ANY QUESTIONS???
