DESCRIPTION:
"Great overview" according to Amazon Customer. I was looking for something to give me an idea of how haptics are used in a variety of settings. This book is it!
The primary objective is to provide a comprehensive overview and a practical understanding of haptic technologies. The term “haptics” refers to the science of sensing and manipulation through touch. An appreciation of the close relationship between the wide range of disciplines that constitute a haptic system is a key principle towards being able to build successful collaborative haptic environments.Structured as a reference to allow for fast accommodation of the issues concerned, this book is intended for researchers interested in studying touch and force feedback for use in technological multimedia systems in computer science, electrical engineering, or other related disciplines. The authors treat haptics as a new medium rather than just a domain within one of the above areas. Multiple disciplines such as biomechanics, psychophysics, robotics, neuroscience, and software engineering converge to support haptics, and generally, haptic research is done by three communities: the robotics community, the human computer interface community, and the virtual reality community.This book is different from any other book that has looked at haptics. They describe human haptic perception and interfaces and present fundamentals in haptic rendering and mod
Diverse software architectures for standalone and networked haptic systems are explained, and the authors demonstrate the vast application spectrum of this emerging technology along with its accompanying trends. The primary objective is to provide a comprehensive overview and a practical understanding of haptic technologies. With its novel approach, it paves the way for exploring research trends and challenges in such fields as interpersonal communication, games, or military applications.. They describe human haptic perception and interfaces and present fundamentals in haptic rendering and modeling in virtual environments. The authors treat haptics as a new medium rather than just a domain within one of the above areas. An appreciation of the close relationship between the wide range
