The design of a user interface management system which provides speech input for text processing
Hewitt, J.; Furner, S. (University of Hertfordshire, 1990)Commercial speech recognition systems are available as 'add-on' units for popular office micro-computers. These systems offer the potential of 'hands-free' operation of conventional electronic office products, such as word ... -
The perception of texture, object size and angularity by touch in virtual environments with two haptic devices
Penn, P.; Petrie, H.; Colwell, C.; Kornbrot, D.; Furner, S.; Hardwick, A. (University of Glasgow, 2000)The incorporation of the sense of touch (haptic sense) into virtual reality (VR) has considerable potential to enhance the realism of virtual environments and make VR accessible to blind people. This paper summarises a ... -
Roughness perception in haptic virtual reality for sighted and blind people
Kornbrot, D.; Penn, P.; Petrie, H.; Furner, S.; Hardwick, A. (2007)Psychophysical functions for perceived roughness, relating ln (magnitude estimate of roughness) to ln (groove width), were obtained for blind and sighted participants in virtual reality using the PHANToM force feedback ... -
Use of a haptic device by blind and sighted people : perception of virtual textures and objects
Colwell, C.; Petrie, H.; Kornbrot, D.; Hardwick, A.; Furner, S. (IOS Press, 1998)This paper describes a series of studies involving a haptic device which can display virtual textures and 3-D objects. The device has potential for simulating real world objects and assisting in the navigation of virtual ...
