  2. 16. Visualization and Haptics for Interactive Medical Image Analysis

    Author : Erik Vidholm; Ingela Nyström; Ewert Bengtsson; Gábor Székely; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Bildanalys; medical image analysis; haptic rendering; volume visualization; interactive segmentation; Bildanalys;

    Abstract : Modern medical imaging techniques provide an increasing amount of high-dimensional and high-resolution image data that need to be visualized, analyzed, and interpreted for diagnostic and treatment planning purposes. As a consequence, efficient ways of exploring these images are needed. READ MORE

  4. 17. User Centered Design of Non-Visual Audio-Haptics

    Author : Kirsten Rassmus-Gröhn; Certec - Rehabiliteringsteknik och Design; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Haptic; audio; non-visual; user-centered design; school; drawing; children;

    Abstract : The following article reports result from an extensive study with 25 blind users from Italy and Sweden performed during the summer 2001. The tasks reported here test recognition of geometrical objects, recognition of VRML objects, mathematical surfaces and navigation in a traffic environment. READ MORE

  5. 18. The use of haptics when interacting with in-car interfaces

    Author : Annie Rydström; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Engineering Psychology; Teknisk psykologi;

    Abstract : Humans use all their senses when they explore and interact with the environment. In human-machine interaction, vision is the dominant sense and interfaces are seldom designed to provide haptic information, i.e. information that can be gathered by touch. READ MORE

  6. 19. The IT potential of haptics: Touch access for people with disabilities

    Author : Calle Sjöström; Certec - Rehabiliteringsteknik och Design; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Haptiska gränssnitt – Virtual Reality; Synskador och blindhet;

    Abstract : In his licentiate thesis, Calle Sjöström sums up his own and Certec's experience from almost five years' work on haptic interfaces for people with disabilities. The haptic technology tested have great potential for future development, but need refinement... READ MORE

  7. 20. Reflective Spatial Haptic Interaction Design Approaching a Designerly Understanding of Spatial Haptics

    Author : Jonas Forsslund; Eva-Lotta Sallnäs Pysander; Petra Sundström; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : With a spatial haptic interface device and a suitable haptic rendering algorithm, users can explore and modify virtual geometries in three dimensions with the aid of their haptic (touch) sense. Designers of surgery simulators, anatomy exploration tools and applications that involve assembly of complex objects should consider employing this technology. READ MORE
