High Fidelity Haptic Rendering

This synthesis examines some of the latest developments on haptic rendering, while lookingforward to exciting future research in this area. It presents novel haptic renderingalgorithms that take advantage of the human haptic sensory modality. Specifically itdiscusses different rendering techniques for various geometric representations (e.g.point-based, polygonal, multiresolution, distance fields, etc), as well as textured surfaces.It also shows how psychophysics of touch can provide the foundational design guidelines fordeveloping perceptually driven force models and concludes with possible applications andissues to consider in future algorithmic design, validating rendering techniques, andevaluating haptic interfaces.Lin, Ming is the author of 'High Fidelity Haptic Rendering ', published 2006 under ISBN 9781598291148 and ISBN 1598291149.
