Abstract

The haptic interface or force feedback device improves the quality of human computer interaction by accommodating the sense of touch in a computer simulation. A haptic device enables a two way communication between the user and the host computer. The applications of force feedback device cover a wide area such as in medical training, systems for the visually impaired, engineering research, and creative art-work. The role of haptic feedback varies depending on the applications in question and the devices used. This includes haptic as a teaching tool, and a communication aid. Despite the benefits of haptic feedback, its deployment to support interactions in a virtual environment is still slow. This is due to the high cost of the haptic devices in the market. We address this issue by presenting a conceptual framework in designing and implementing a cost-effective haptic device; building on similar concepts obtained from existing technologies. The device is developed using those gadgets that are mainly available in-house. It is projected that haptic feedback generated from the device could benefit teaching abstract concepts to students.

一种运动与动力学教学触觉装置的设计

触觉界面或力反馈装置通过在计算机模拟中适应触觉来提高人机交互的质量。触觉装置使用户和主机之间的双向通信成为可能。力反馈装置的应用范围很广，如医疗培训、视障系统、工程研究和艺术创作。触觉反馈的作用取决于所讨论的应用程序和所使用的设备。这包括触觉作为教学工具和交流辅助工具。尽管触觉反馈有很多好处，但它在虚拟环境中支持交互的部署仍然很慢。这是由于市场上触觉设备的高成本。我们通过提出一个设计和实施具有成本效益的触觉设备的概念框架来解决这个问题;基于从现有技术中获得的类似概念。该设备是使用那些主要在内部可用的小工具开发的。据预测，该设备产生的触觉反馈有助于向学生教授抽象概念。
