Haptic Technology

Haptic technology uses the sense of touch in virtual reality applications by providing tactile and kinesthetic feedback. This is accomplished through haptic devices like the Phantom and Cyber Grasp interfaces, which allow users to interact with and manipulate 3D virtual objects through touch. Haptic technology has applications in education, where it allows students to experience virtual physics simulations, as well as in rehabilitation for stroke patients and games for blind children. The future of haptics includes its increased use in online commerce and as a standard part of human-computer interaction.

HAPTIC TECHNOLOGY

INTRODUCTION

 HAPTIC: having to do with sense of touch.  HAPTIC: also known as force feedback technology  Originated from greek word HEPTITHESAI

OBJECTIVE Recognizing objects through touch Solving challenging problems Ability of expression in multiple dimensions

WORKING

HAPTIC INFORMATION TACTILE INFORMATION KINESTHETIC INFORMATION HAPTIC INFORMATION = TACTILE + KINESTHETIC INFORMATION

VIRTUAL REALITY
Creation of artificial environment 3D effects Special sensory input devices are used

HAPTIC FEEDBACK
MAIN ELEMENTS SIMULATION ENGINE HAPTIC ALGORITHMS TRANSDUCERS

HAPTIC DEVICES

PHANTOM
Haptic interface 3D touch to 3D graphics program Adds a new dimension to human computer interaction Uses 3D space - haptic scene

CYBER GRASP Haptic interface Gives sense of real touch

APPLICATIONS

SUBMARIME INVARIENTBATTLESHIP GAME


Made for blind children Players feel 10*10 squares in coordinate system. Finger in the phantom is a helicopter that is hunting submarines with depth charge bombs

FOR STROKE PATIENTS


People interact with virtual world by feel

VIRTUAL EDUCATION
Haptic devices- to teach physics for example- giving students a virtual environment in which they can manipulate and experience the physical properties of objects and the forces that act on them. In subjects such as biology and chemistry- haptic devices create virtual models of molecules and other microscopic structures that students can manipulate.

MILITARY APPLICATIONS

FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS

TORCH FOR BLIND

HAPTIC TORCH

FEEL IT MOUSE

CONCLUSION
Future for online computing & Ecommerce. Part of a Persons normal computer interaction.
