Objectives
The integration of haptic feedback in a virtual environment raises problems at different levels, including the hardware and the software issues. In this general context, our research activity is focused on (1) the development and improvement of a real-time “realistic” haptic rendering, (2) the development of specific interaction techniques dedicated to the integration of a haptic feedback in the virtual environment (haptic metaphors), (3) the development of a global software architecture to include the several modules of the haptic feedback, (4) the development of specific haptic (both force feedback and tactile) interaction techniques dedicated to scientific visualization applications, and (5) the integration of haptic feedback within immersive virtual environments.
Several priority targets were identified concerning our research activity on haptic feedback: “realistic” haptic rendering of contacts, open framework and general software architecture for haptic rendering, haptic rendering with under-actuated devices (e.g. wearable haptic devices), haptic rendering for interaction with large and complex virtual environments, integration of haptic and other sensory feedback, haptics for scientific visualization.
