Additional Information

What makes a haptic simulation feel good, and/or feel like a particular real environment? I've studied the basis of perception of high fidelity (recognizability) in haptic feedback in terms of machine parameters, by using a high performance device in psychophysics experiments.


Out of this research came an interest in automatic haptic system identification for the purpose of haptic display; the "Haptic Camera", started at MIT and being carried on at Stanford, is one example of this.
