Haptic Rendering: Foundations, Algorithms, and Applications
| PUBLISHER | A K PETERS (07/25/2008) |
| PRODUCT TYPE | Hardcover (Hardcover) |
Description
For a long time, human beings have dreamed of a virtual world where it is possible to interact with synthetic entities as if they were real. It has been shown that the ability to touch virtual objects increases the sense of presence in virtual environments. This book provides an authoritative overview of state-of-theart haptic rendering algorithms and their applications. The authors examine various approaches and techniques for designing touch-enabled interfaces for a number of applications, including medical training, model design, and maintainability analysis for virtual prototyping, scientific visualization, and creative processes.
