Textures can often more easily be described as a composition of subtextures than as a single texture. The paper proposes a way to model and synthesize such "composite textures...
The “Haptic Scissors” is a device that creates the sensation of cutting in virtual environments. The scissors have two degrees of freedom of motion and force feedback, one for...

The purpose of the Virtual Haptic Back (VHB) project is to develop a realistic haptic/graphical model of the human back that can be used for palpation (diagnosis though touch) in ...

This paper presents our experience towards the conception of a virtual reality medical simulator coupled with haptic interaction aimed at training surgeons. This area of research h...
We present a fast and accurate collision detection algorithm for haptic interaction with polygonal models. Given a model, we pre-compute a hybrid hierarchical representation, cons...
