Haptic virtual reality for blind computer users
Colwell, C.; Petrie, H.; Kornbrot, D.; Hardwick, A.; Fumer, S. (ACM 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 ... -
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 ... -
