Tactile Perception of Textiles in a Virtual-Reality System

Virtual Reality (VR) has a lot of applications ranging from entertainment to mechanicaldesign and medical training. VR systems are often used in training situations where training in a real environment would be inappropriate and possibly even dangerous.This work was part of the EU funded HAPTEX project, which aimed at developing a VR system for the visual and haptic presentation of textiles.

List of contents

Introduction .- Human Perception.- Devices for Tactile Simulation.- Generation of Virtual Surfaces.- Tactile Rendering.- Summary and Outlook.- A Fabrics.

Summary

This work forms part of the EU funded HAPTEX project, which is aimed at developing a VR system for the visual and haptic presentation of textiles. Written by experts in the field, the book presents the state-of-the-art of VR based tactile perception.
