Haptics as the ultimate user in the loop technology
Jérôme Perret
The sense of touch is critical for our daily activities, however it is seldom properly addressed in Virtual Environments. Haptics, and more specifically force-feedback, can improve the user experience and make the difference between a useless nerd game and a really effective engineering tool. Good value-for-money is achieved by balancing the implementation constraints and the necessary acquisition of expertise with the expected benefits for precise use-cases.
