OUTLINE
• IMPORTANT CONCEPTS IN HAPTICS.
• SUMMARY.
WHAT IS ‘HAPTICS’ ?
• HAPTICS-The technology that
interfaces human interaction with
external enviroinment via touch.
• Developing a computer controlled
system to physically interact with a
Virtual or remote enviroinment.
• Originated from the Greek word
‘HAPTETHESAI’.
WORKING OF HAPTICS
HAPTIC INFORMATION
• TACTILE INFORMATIONS
• KINESTHETIC INFORMATION
• HAPTIC INFORMATION=TACTILE
+KINESTHETIC INFORMATION
VIRTUAL REALITY
1) Creation of an artifi-
cial environment.
2) 3D effect.
3) Increased realism.
4) Special sensory input
devices are used.
