Abstract:
Haptic rendering of forces and torques between interacting objects, also known as 6 degree-of-freedom (DoF) haptics, has been demonstrated to improve task performance in applications such as molecular docking, nanomanipulation, medical training, and mechanical assembly in virtual prototyping. Moreover, surface texture can pro- vide a compelling cue to object identity and strongly influences the forces that must be applied in manipulation [Klatzky and Lederman 2002]. However, up to date haptic rendering of texture effects has been limited to the case of point-object interaction. Previous techniques for 6-DoF haptic rendering, such as [McNeely et al. 1999], could not capture high-frequency geometric detail, due to voxelization and point sampling limitations. Otaduy and Lin [2003] pro- posed a technique that selected object resolution adaptively at each contact. This approach also filtered high resolution geometric detail, thus texture effects were completely ignored.
