We discuss the properties of force-feedback haptic simulation systems that fundamentally limit the re-creation of periodic gratings, and hence, of any texture. These include sampl...
Force feedback coupled with a real-time physically realistic graphic display provides a human operator with an artificial sense of presence in a virtual environment. Furthermore,...
In this paper, we present computationally efficient algorithms for the real time simulation of minimally invasive surgical (MIS) procedures. To develop a surgical simulator for tr...
