Research towards a methodology which helps designers/engineers in conceptualizing, facilitating participatory Design and validating products during designing and development process becoming more important with the aim of reducing the lengthy process and errors that crops up during the process. In this kind of situation it is felt that Virtual Reality-Haptic is among the solutions to cater repeated physical prototyping as well as for rapid prototyping and reduces related cost. This integrated system of virtual reality-Haptic feedback interaction may enhance the usability evaluation of virtual products. Therefore, emphasis of this paper is to study the virtual and augmented reality, Haptics working principles and their advantage towards product evaluation. Through this study it was possible to understand the working principles of Haptic device and write codes/program using OpenHaptics Software development Toolkit in order to manipulate the virtual object which was prepared through CAD Software (in this research CATIA was used), thereafter, experimental setup with full system were established. After preparing questionnaires and virtual reality-haptic system, participants were allowed to manipulate the virtual object via phantom Omni haptic feedback device and compare the physical properties of different virtual objects. Finally collected data were analyzed and drawn a result that revealed the potential of Virtual Reality-Haptic system for realizing the virtual objects surface texture, size, shape, and weight.

“…The VR was and still is especially used for military training or video games to provide some sense of realism and interaction with the virtual environment to its users [8]. Now it attracts more and more the interest of physicians and therapist which are exploring the potential of VR headset and augmented reality (AR) to improve the neuroplasticity of the brain, to be used in neurorehabilitation 2 Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing and treatment of motor/mental disorders [9].…”

In recent years, the assistive technologies and stroke rehabilitation methods have been empowered by the use of virtual reality environments and the facilities offered by brain computer interface systems and functional electrical stimulators. In this paper, a therapy system for stroke rehabilitation based on these revolutionary techniques is presented. Using a virtual reality Oculus Rift device, the proposed system ushers the patient in a virtual scenario where a virtual therapist coordinates the exercises aimed at restoring brain function. The electrical stimulator helps the patient to perform rehabilitation exercises and the brain computer interface system and an electrooculography device are used to determine if the exercises are executed properly. Laboratory tests on healthy people led to system validation from technical point of view. The clinical tests are in progress, but the preliminary results of the clinical tests have highlighted the good satisfaction degree of patients, the quick accommodation with the proposed therapy, and rapid progress for each user rehabilitation.

“…One of these new approaches is the use of persistent virtual environments for training, employed in a distributed manner. While virtual world technology and training is still a relatively new domain [5], the Army has been an early supporter of this technology [6]. Recent advancements in simulation technology have enabled the rendering of sufficiently realistic virtual environments that can support realistic training [7].…”

In this paper, we describe the analysis of the effect of vertical computational scaling on the performance of a simulation based training prototype currently under development by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory. The United States military is interested in facilitating Warfighter training by investigating large-scale realistic virtual operational environments. In order to support expanded training at higher echelons, virtual world simulators need to scale to support more simultaneous client connections, more intelligent agents, and more physics interactions. This work provides an in-depth analysis of a virtual world simulator under different hardware profiles to determine the effect of increased vertical computational scaling.
