Shaping Event-Based Haptic Transients Via an Improved Understanding of Real Contact Dynamics
Haptic interactions with stiff virtual surfaces feel more realistic when a short-duration transient is added to the spring force at contact. But how should this event-based transi...

Time-Based Haptic Analysis of Protein Dynamics
We present a new approach for evaluating a protein’s simulated trajectory via time-based haptic feedback. Molecular-scale trajectories are highly dynamic and thus pose new deman...
