Haptic feedback has been used to faithfully restitute the haptic sense lacking during telemanipulation, but also for providing auxiliary information via the haptic channel to restore functional perception of missing or damaged senses, e.g. sensory substitu ...
This document describes an ITK implementation of an interactive method for tracing curvilinear structures. The basic tools provided in this framework are an oriented flux-based tubularity measure and a geodesic path tracer that uses the fast marching algor ...
The latest wearable technologies demand more intuitive and sophisticated interfaces for communication, sensing, and feedback closer to the body. Evidently, such interfaces require flexibility and conformity without losing their functionality even on rigid ...
Surgical robotics is among the most challenging applications of motion control. Present and future systems are essentially master-slave systems. Our work focuses on force-feedback and haptic interfaces. In this context, we study multimodal haptic interface ...
We present a 3D user interface for collaborative manipulation of three-dimensional objects in virtual environments. It maps inertial sensors, touch screen and physical buttons of a mobile phone into well-known gestures to alter the position, rotation and s ...
Current myoelectrically controlled hand prostheses normally lack tactile feedback, thus limiting their functionalities and user acceptance. We propose a non-invasive tactile sensory feedback system, consisting miniaturized sensors, wireless communication m ...
The growing complexity of telemanipulation tasks calls for increased realism and intuitiveness of the interaction between the user and the master control. Humans perceive multiple haptic features of an object such as its stiffness, temperature, and shape, ...
The recent advances in immersive display technologies offer a unique opportunity for providing intuitive interaction techniques easing the user involvement in the Virtual Environment. This trend underlines the great potential of Performance Animation espec ...
Surrounding environment is mainly perceived through sight and hearing. Our sense of touch is mostly dedicated to explore the surface of objects using hands and fingers. Tactile sensitivity of the body skin is rather limited in common life, however this rep ...
As computer technologies improve year by year, advanced and intuitive user interfaces become increasingly necessary to allow proper manipulation of various types of programs, in different fields and markets. In the case of haptic glove devices, a fraction ...
