Haptic Perception and Devices

Haptic science

• Haptics is the «science of touch».

What is Haptics?• adj. Of or relating to the sense of touch;

tactile. [Greek haptikos, from haptesthai, to grasp, touch.]– Haptics involves both proprioceptive and tactile

senses, in concert with other senses.

• adj. The science of applying touch (tactile) sensation and control to interaction with computer applications.

• Haptic: is the science of applying tactile, kinesthetic or both sensations to human interaction with computers.

• It refers to the ability of sensing and/or manipulating objects in a natural or synthetic environment through touch using a haptic interface. El Saddik (U. Ottawa)– Tactile (presure, temperature, pain)– Kinesthetic (motion, force, muscles)– Texture vibration– Haptic device // Haptic interface // Haptic rendering

Haptic interface

The Sense of Touch• Everyday Tasks– Dialing a phone– Playing a guitar or piano– Finding a light switch– Using a mouse

• Touch is complex: tying a shoelace• Only bi-directional communication channel –

both input & output

Why is Touch Important?

• Touch-tone phone– Rich tactile cues– Can be done without

looking– Effortless

• PC calculator– No tactile cues– Only visual feedback– Painstaking

Tactile Perception

• Provides information about our environment– e.g. hot, cold, smooth, rough

• Provides feedback– e.g. when trying to lift an object, press buttons,

etc.• Difficulties if no feedback?

Peripheral Pathways of Touch

• Mechanoreceptors - pressure, texture, vibration

• Proprioceptors - body position• Nocioceptors– Two pathways for pain• one fast pathway for sharp pain, • one slow pathway for dull pain

• Thermoreceptors

Four Receptor Types

a) Merkel Disks -- constant sources of stimulation over a small area, such as if you were carrying a pebble

b) Meissner Corpuscles -- respond best to active touch involved in object exploration

c) Ruffini Endings -- constant stimulation over a larger area - also detects skin stretch

d) Pacinian Corpuscles -- extremely sensitive over a large receptive field -- blow gently on the palm of your hand

Functional characteristics of Skin Mechanoreceptors:Receptive field size (I = small, II = large)

and adaptation rate (FA = fast adapting, SA = slow adapting)

Receptive FieldThe two-point threshold for any part of the body is determined by the size of the receptive fields and the extent of overlap

Proprioception

• All muscles have nerve fibers which detect the amount the muscle is stretched

• All joints have fibers which detect the relative position of each bone

• Together these allow you to determine the position of every part of your body.

Haptic Interfaces

Haptic Interfaces• Fully duplex channel. You can both transmit and

receive information simultaneously.• Requires very high refresh rates of approx.

1000 Hz for realistic feel.• Requires very high spatial resolution.– On smooth glass surface, dot of height 1-3 µm and

diameter of 550 µm can be detected by the fingertip (Johansson & LaMotte, 1983)

Tactile Technologies• Tactile information is produced by perturbing the

skin– Pins or other mechanical vibrating elements - either alone

or in an array, as in devices for Braille display• typically used for fingertip stimulation

– Air jets blow to produce a disturbance– Cushions of air can be inflated or deflated to vary pressure

on skin– Electrical stimulation - low levels of current provide a

localized tingling sensation

• Typically used in gloves, or for larger body areas

Laterotactile

• Induce sensations of indent from lateral movement of skin

Discussion

• Mechanical aspects are more daunting than for other VR technologies

• Must handle gross positioning (proprioception) and fine detail (tactile)

• Burgeoning area– 10 years ago, 20 papers a year– Now, 1000’s.
