Direct Haptic Rendering of Sculptured Models
A new tracing algorithm is described that supports haptic rendering of NURBS surfaces without the use of any intermediate representation. By using this tracing algorithm in conjun...

Context Sensitive Flying Interface
The requirement to change scale frequently is common to many 2D and 3D applications. Users must “zoom in” to examine details and “zoom out” to appreciate the context. This...
