Perceptual haptic data reduction in telepresence and teleaction systems
Abstract
Vision and hearing play a significant role in the
perception of our surroundings. This fact has aptly
justified and reinforced our inclination of focusing
research in man-machine interaction traditionally
on these modalities. Inspired by the recent progress
in human-machine interaction, robotics, and
augmented reality, contemporary scientists and
engineers are concentrating efforts towards
seamlessly integrating the haptic modality with the
well established ones of audio and video. This
realization is rapidly gaining the field of haptics
(from the Greek haptikos, pertaining to the sense of
touch), the attention that it has rightfully deserved.
