 HAPTICS??
• ‘Haptic’ is derived from the Greek word
‘haptiko’ which means ”being able to come
into contact ”

• Haptic = Touch = Connection

• Of the five senses, touch is the most

proficient, the only one capable of
simultaneous input and output.
 INTRODUCTION
• Haptic is the technology of adding the
sensation of touch and feeling to computers.

• A haptic device gives people a sense of touch

with computer-generated environments, so
that when virtual objects are touched, they
seem real and natural.

• Haptic senses links to the the brain's sensing

position and movement of the body by
means of sensory nerves within the muscles
and joints.

 HAPTIC INFORMATION
Haptics is implemented through different type of
interactions with a haptic device communicating with the
computer. These interactions can be categorized into the
different types of touch sensations a user can receive:

1) Tactile feedback
• Refers to the sensations felt by the skin.
• It allows the user to feel things such as the texture
of surfaces, temperature and vibration.

2) Force feedback
• It reproduces the directional forces that can result
from solid boundaries.
• E.g. the weight of virtual objects, inertia, etc.
 HAPTIC DEVICE

PHANTOM INTERFACE CYBER GRASP SYSTEM

 PHANTOM
• providing a 3D touch to the virtual objects

• provides 6 d.o.f

• when the user move his finger, then he could really

feel the shape and size of the virtual 3D object that
has been already programmed.

• virtual 3 dimensional space in which the phantom

operates is called haptic scene
 CYBER GRASP
• The Cyber Grasp system fits over the user's entire
hand like an exoskeleton and adds resistive force
feedback to each finger

• Allows 4 d.o.f for each finger

• Adapted to different size of the fingers

• Located on the back of the hand

• Measure finger angular flexion (The measure of the

joint angles are independent and can have a good
resolution given the important paths traveled by the
cables when the finger shut
 Principle of Haptic Interface
Interaction occurs at an interaction tool that mechanically
couples two controlled dynamical systems :

1) haptic interface with a computer

2) human user with a central nervous system

 CHARACTERISTICS
• Low back-drive inertia and friction

• Balanced range,resolution and bandwidth of position

sensing and force reflection,minimal constraints on
motion

• Symmetric inertia, friction, stiffness and resonant

frequency properties,proper ergonomics
 APPLICATIONS OF HAPTIC
• MEDICAL

• MILITARY

• MUSEUM DISPLAY

• GAMING

• SURGEY

• TELE-PRESENCE
 FUTURE VISION
• Medical Application
Use of a central workstation from which
surgeons would perform operations in
various locations; with machine setup
and patient preparation performed by
local nursing staff.

• Textile Industry
User could study and feel the texture and
quality of materail during the sale of cloth
through internet.
 LIMITATIONS
• High cost involved

• Large weight and size of haptic devices (especially

wearable ones)

• Haptic interfaces can only exert forces with limited

magnitude and not equally well in all directions

• haptic-rendering algorithms operate in discrete time

whereas users operate in continuous time.
 CONCLUSION
• Continued implementation of tactile devices to aid
people with disabilities will advance further

• Currently limited to consumers

• Future generations of mobile devices and game

console accessories will implement more haptic
feedback

• Perhaps also in desktop computers and laptops
