Beschreibung
Multi-finger Haptic Interaction presents a panorama of technologies and methods for multi-finger haptic interaction, together with an analysis of the benefits and implications of adding multiple-fingers to haptic applications.Research topics covered include: - design and control of advanced haptic devices; multicontact point simulation algorithms; interaction techniques and implications in human perception when interacting with multiple fingers. These multidisciplinary results are integrated into applications such as medical simulators for training manual skills, simulators for virtual prototyping and precise manipulations in remote environments.Multifinger Haptic Interaction presents the current and potential applications that can be developed with these systems, and details the systems' complexity. The research is focused on enhancing haptic interaction by providing multiple contact points to the user.This stateoftheart volume is oriented towards researchers who are involved in haptic device design, rendering methods and perception studies, as well as readers from different disciplines who are interested in applying multifinger haptic technologies and methods to their field of interest.
