“…The frequency response of a device, although it is a key factor of performance [14] [15], is rarely discussed, let alone measured, but a few numbers can be collected in the literature. These numbers are summarized in Table 1, as they are claimed by the corresponding references, although the method of measurement is rarely specified as recommended in [14] in order to ensure a level playing field.…”

Abstract-This paper describes a haptic interface that has a uniform response over the entire human tactile frequency range. Structural mechanics makes it very difficult to implement articulated mechanical systems that can transmit high frequency signals. Here, we separated the frequency range into two frequency bands. The lower band is within the first structural mode of the corresponding haptic device while the higher one can be transmitted accurately by a fast actuator operating from conservation of momentum, that is, without reaction forces to the ground. To couple the two systems, we adopted a channel separation approach akin to that employed in the design of acoustic reproduction systems. The two channels are recombined at the tip of the device to give a uniform frequency response from DC to one kHz. In terms of mechanical design, the high-frequency transducer was embedded inside the tip of the main stage so that during operation, the human operator has only to interact with a single finger interface. In order to exemplify the type of application that would benefit from this kind of interface, we applied it to the haptic exploration with microscopic scales objects which are known to behave with very fast dynamics. The novel haptic interface was bilaterally coupled with a micromanipulation platform to demonstrate its capabilities. Operators could feel interaction forces arising from contact as well as those resulting from Brownian motion and could manoeuvre a micro bead in the absence of vision.

“…Some studies implemented liberal movement without spatial restriction by analyzing users' joint information or recognizing movement by using motion capture devices [8,9]. Laycock et al [10] conducted research on the improvement of the realism of interaction in the virtual reality through virtual object manipulation and motion simulation. Danieau et al [11] suggested HapSeat for the simulation of actuating users' head and hand at lower cost.…”

This study proposes a method of effectively creating mobile virtual reality scenes centered at events for the purpose of providing new experiences in virtual reality environment to users. For this purpose, this paper uses Prim's maze generation algorithm to automatically create maze environments that have different patterns every time and to compute mazes with finite paths. This paper designs a scheme of creating virtual reality scenes based on event-centered mazes to maximize users' tension and immersion. Here, event components that are appropriate for the maze environment are defined and maze patterns are created centered at the event point where events that are appropriate for the maze pattern are automatically created. Finally, the paper analyzes whether the proposed virtual reality scene based on event-centered mazes is helpful in enhancing users' immersion and arousing their interest through diverse experiments.

“…Within the remotely controlled manipulators, methods can be distinguished by their input devices, e.g. joysticks (some mentioned in (Laycock and Day, 2003)). From standard joysticks to those with force feedback, the boundaries to master-slave control mechanisms are fluid.…”

Abstract:We introduce an intuitive way of controlling a manipulator. This control should fulfill several constraints like low room consuming and operable in a short time. With this constraints in mind we chose an inertial sensor based motion capturing system. Such systems have to be adapted to the user. We present a method to adapt the system by a fast calibration while it is been used. The calibration does not require specified given motions. The soundness of the system is shown in synthetic and real experiments.
