Future public telecommunications systems are expected to support many of the current activities of daily life. In the presentation of these services, analogies with and metaphors from real world objects will be necessary in order to provide easy command and control of the technology being used. Typically, this is expected to be via virtual objects within virtual worlds. Haptic display has a vital role to play in the creation of these virtual objects to provide a physical tactile presence.
