Haptic Technology

Haptic technology uses forces, vibrations, and motions to provide tactile feedback to users through computer simulations. This allows for creation of virtual objects and remote control of machines with a sense of touch. The document discusses how haptic technology works and future expectations, with a focus on applications in surgical simulation and medical training by providing tactile feedback during virtual procedures.

Haptic Technology In Surgical Simulation And Medical Training.

ABSTRACT
Haptic technology, or haptics, is a feedback technology which takes advantage of a user's sense of touch by applying forces, vibrations, and/or motions upon the user. This mechanical stimulation may be used to assist in the creation of virtual objects (objects existing only in a computer simulation), for control of such virtual objects, and for the enhancement of the remote control of machines and devices (teleoperators). It has been described as "(doing) for the sense of touch what computer graphics does for vision" . how ever computer scientists have had great difficulty transferring this basic understanding of touch into their virtual reality systems without a mistake . this seminar describes how Haptic technology works and future expectation about Haptic technology.

Haptic is the science of applying tactile sensation to human interaction with computers. In our paper we have discussed the basic concepts behind haptic along with the haptic devices and how these devices are interacted to produce sense of touch and force feedback mechanisms. Also the implementation of this mechanism by means of haptic rendering and contact detection were discussed. We mainly focus on Application of Haptic Technology in Surgical Simulation and Medical Training. Further we explained the storage and retrieval of haptic data while working with haptic devices. Also the necessity of haptic data compression is illustrated.
