Abstract

It is well known that sense of touch is inevitable for understanding the real world. The use of force feedback to enhance computer-human interaction (HCI) has often been discussed. A haptic interface is a feedback device that generates sensation to the skin and muscles, including a sense of touch, weight, and rigidity. Compared with ordinary visual and auditory sensations, haptics is difficult to synthesize. In the field of virtual reality, haptic interface is one of the major research areas. The last decade has seen significant advances in the development of haptic interfaces. High-performance haptic devices have been developed and some of them are commercially available. This chapter presents current methods and issues in developing haptic interfaces.
