The main goal of virtual reality based surgery simulators with haptic feedback is to provide an alternative to traditional training methods on animals, cadavers or real patients. ...
We propose extending the concept of spatial constancy to haptic perception. In vision, spatial constancy refers to the conversion of retinotopic signals into spatiotopic represent...
—Haptic texture represents the fine-grained attributes of an object’s surface and is related to physical characteristics such as roughness and stiffness. We introduce an inter...
In this paper, a method for estimating the pen tip position of customized haptic device attachments is presented. Least squares sphere fitting is applied to the acquired point clou...
