Event-based, high-frequency transient forces must be superimposed with traditional proportional feedback to provide realistic haptic cues at impact. We have developed a new method for matching the accelerations experienced during real contact, inverting a dynamic model of the device to compute appropriate force feedback transients. We evaluated this haptic rendering paradigm by conducting a study in which users blindly rated the realism of tapping on a variety of virtually rendered surfaces as well as on three real objects. Event-based feedback significantly increased the realism of the virtual surfaces, and the acceleration matching strategy was rated similarly to a sample of real wood on a foam substrate. This work provides a new avenue for achieving realism of contact in haptic interactions.","PeriodicalId":117050,"journal":{"name":"First Joint Eurohaptics Conference and Symposium on Haptic Interfaces for Virtual Environment and Teleoperator Systems.

We also show that thanks to the Gauss-Seidel type resolution method we can speed up the CPU time for complex multi-contact simulations with friction.

The first investigated the spatial acuity as function of location on the torso. A uniform acuity between 2 and 3 cm was found, except on the body midline where acuity was about 1 cm. This favorable effect was hypothesized to be caused by specific processing characteristics of the central nervous system. The second experiment focused on the effect of timing parameters in a localization task. The results indicated that localization performance was closely related to both temporal ordering and apparent motion. The results can be used to optimize torso display design and the patterns presented on those displays. Also, they demonstrate that even the most advanced displays have not reached the borders of the processing capacities of the torso.","PeriodicalId":117050,"journal":{"name":"First Joint Eurohaptics Conference and Symposium on Haptic Interfaces for Virtual Environment and Teleoperator Systems.

The soft-finger grasping is obtained extending a local model to include rotational friction while the local deformations are achieved through displacement fields directly on the GPU. Dynamics of the objects in the scene is simulated by a rigid body simulator which allows realistic interactions with other objects existing in the scene.","PeriodicalId":117050,"journal":{"name":"First Joint Eurohaptics Conference and Symposium on Haptic Interfaces for Virtual Environment and Teleoperator Systems.
