Fingertip haptics
A PhD student from the University of Reading demonstrates a device that combines a 3D environment with a multi-fingertip, haptic device.
Dr Peter Scarfe, researcher and lecturer from the School of Psychology at the University of Reading introduces PhD student, Victoria Oguntosin, demonstrating one of the devices designed and built by Cybernetics Researchers at the University of Reading.
The device consists of a workbench that enables the user to manipulate a pile of blocks and explore different surface textures, using a combination of 3D virtual reality and a multi-fingered, haptic robot.
