Human Haptic Perception and the Design of Haptic-Enhanced Virtual Environments

  • Chapter
The Sense of Touch and its Rendering

Part of the book series: Springer Tracts in Advanced Robotics ((STAR,volume 45))

Summary

This chapter presents an overview of interesting scientific findings related to human haptic perception and discuss the usability of these scientific findings for the design and development of virtual environments including haptic rendering. The first section of the chapter deals with pure haptic perception whereas the second and third sections are devoted to the integration of kinesthetic information with other sensory inputs like vision and audition.
