BACKGROUND: Altering the normal association between touch and its visual correlate can result in the illusory perception of a fake limb as part of our own body. Thus, when touch is seen to be applied to a rubber hand while felt synchronously on the corresp ...
This thesis proposes a framework for haptic devices interacting with virtual environments. As application of the theoretical results a haptic device for the surgical training of hysteroscopy, a gynecologic intervention, is presented. Surgery simulators, wh ...
Le projet a pour but de concevoir un gant à retour de force. Ce gant devra agir sur le bout des doigts de l'utilisateur afin de recréer la sensation de saisie d'objet entre ses doigts. Dans une première approche, nous nous focaliserons sur un seul doigt: l ...
In the scope of haptic touch feedback actuators, we discuss the phenomenon of creating the haptic experience by squeezing the air film between the user finger and the actuator. The focus is given in the modeling of the squeeze film effect. An existing anal ...
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 ...
Since [years] we hear about Virtual Reality as a discipline that could potentially provide benefits to many applications. Basically, the principle of Virtual Reality consists in stimulating user senses in order to give the impression to be in another place ...
A virtual reality system for the training of the lumbar puncture intervention is presented. We use a haptic device with six degrees of freedom (6DOF) to feedback forces that resist needle insertion and rotation. An improved haptic volume rendering approach ...
Abstract: Recent advances in brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) have demonstrated the possibility of motor neuroprosthetics directly controlled by brain activity. Ideally neuroprosthetic limbs should be integrated in the body schema of the subject. To explore ...
CAVE systems are nowadays one of the best Virtual Reality (VR) immersive devices available for rendering virtual environments. Unfortunately, such kind of hardware is extremely expensive, complex and cum-bersome, thus limited in its spread. Several cheaper ...
Within the framework of a project consisting in developing a haptic keyboard, each key is aimed to be controlled individually in position and force. Small sized actuators has already been designed and integrated in a 64 keys force feedback keyboard. The pr ...
