1. Haptics with Applications to Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery Planning
Abstract : Virtual surgery planning systems have demonstrated great potential to help surgeons achieve a better functional and aesthetic outcome for the patient, and at the same time reduce time in the operating room resulting in considerable cost savings. However, the two-dimensional tools employed in these systems today, such as a mouse and a conventional graphical display, are difficult to use for interaction with three-dimensional anatomical images.

2. Towards mapping and applying haptics in user-product interaction and product development: An empirical and theoretical approach
Abstract : Developing products for user-product interaction consists of many dimensions to consider for a product developer. The situations that occur when users start to explore and interact with a product are very complex; both mental and physical actions are engaged and our senses perceive and interpret the situations.

3. Touching the Essence of Life : Haptic Virtual Proteins for Learning
Abstract : This dissertation presents research in the development and use of a multi-modal visual and haptic virtual model in higher education. The model, named Chemical Force Feedback (CFF), represents molecular recognition through the example of protein-ligand docking, and enables students to simultaneously see and feel representations of the protein and ligand molecules and their force interactions.

4. Preparing Spatial Haptics for Interaction Design
Abstract : Spatial haptics is a fascinating technology with which users can explore and modify3D computer graphics objects with the sense of touch, but its application potentialis often misunderstood. For a large group of application designers it is still unknown,and those who are aware of it often have either too high expectations of what is technicallyachievable or believe it is too complicated to consider at all.

5. Users' haptic product experiences
Abstract : The visual aspects have always been of great significance and taken into account in designing consumer products. Other senses have been somewhat neglected as a result of this tradition. This thesis will prove different. READ MORE
