Learning Objectives At the end of this webinar, you will be able to-Haptic Device Describe the term Haptic Technology State examples of Haptic devices Define advantages and drawbacks of Haptic devices Elaborate educational implications3SNDT Womens University1/5/2014 4. Haptic TechnologyHaptic Device The term Haptic means sense of touch. It adds a sense of touch to the virtual environment. Haptic technology refers to the science of applyingsensation to human interaction with the computers.4SNDT Womens University1/5/2014 5. What is Haptic device? Haptic device is mechanical device that mediate communicationbetween computer and the user.Haptic Device Haptic devices are responsible for applying touch sensation andcontrol to interaction with virtual objects or virtual environment. The user could feel the sensation of touching the virtual objects-like textures, shape, edges or weight. The computer communicates sensation by using Hapticinterface.5SNDT Womens University1/5/2014 6. Continue Haptic devices have one of the high levels of interaction.Haptic Device It is used for input as well as output to a computer. Through the Haptic device user can get feedback in the form offeel of touch. A user can receive sensational feedback from the computer asoutput.6SNDT Womens University1/5/2014 7. Types of feedback The users can get two types of feedback while interactingHaptic Devicewith the virtual environment.7SNDT Womens University1/5/2014 8. Senseg TabletHaptic Device It is a new generation of Haptics. It has a Feel screen technology. A user can feel the different textures ofgraphics on the flat surface of this tablet. It provides tactile feedback.8SNDT Womens University1/5/2014 9. Continue How does the Sensege tablet work? The principal of attraction between Haptic Deviceelectrical charges has been used. The electrode is activated by passingelectric current to the insulated electrode. Electrostatic field based systemcreates degree of fraction between fingers and flat screen.9SNDT Womens University1/5/2014 10. Simodant (Dental trainer) It is being used by UIC college of dentistryto train the students.Haptic Device It is a dental training devise. It is completely combination of virtual andHaptic. It allows user to operate dental procedurein realistic virtual environment while receiving Haptics. Tasks are being done as if it had performedon live patients.10SNDT Womens University1/5/2014 11. Phantom Phantom had developed by Geomatic company.Haptic Device It is a small robot arm with three revolutejoints each connected to the computer The tip of this devise has stylus which isHaptic interface. The stylus has been held by the user. It provides force feedback- force anddirectional force 11SNDT Womens University1/5/2014 12. AdvantageSafe:Haptic DeviceRealistic experience:12 This technology allows you to see, manipulate and feel the many things so that it turns into a realistic experience of learning. The user is in a virtual environment while using Haptic devices.SNDT Womens University1/5/2014 13. Haptic DeviceDrawbacks13SNDT Womens University1/5/2014 14. Educational ImplicationsSNDT Womens University1/5/2014 15. Training and education It can be used to train people for the tasks where hands-eyeHaptic Devicecoordination required.
