A palmtop display for dextrous manipulation with haptic sensation
Haruo Noma, Tsutomu Miyasato, Fumio Kishino · 1996
Palmtop displays have been extensively studied, but most of them simply refocus information in the real or virtual world.The palmtop display for dextrous manipulation (PDDM) proposed in this paper allows the users to manipulate a remote object as if they were holding it in their hands.The PDDM system has a small LCD, a 3D mouse and a mechanical linkage (force display).When the user locks onto an object in the center of the palmtop display, s/he can manipulate the object through motion input on the palmtop display with haptic sensation.In this paper, the features of the PDDM with haptic sensation are described, then four operating methods and the haptic representation methods for a trial model are proposed and evaluated.(see Video Figure in the CH196 Video Program)
