Evaluating Two Novel Tactile Feedback Devices

Kurzfassung

Adding haptic feedback to virtual reality simulations and telepresence applications increases immersion to human users. As for some applications the use of force-feedback devices is impracticable or not sufficient, tac-tile devices can be utilized as alternative or as supplement. This work investigates two new tactile devices, which use different technologies for generating tactile feedback. These devices are evaluated by experts for two applications, for a virtual reality simulation, and for teleoperating a hand-arm system.
