We will present a demonstration allowing people to touch virtual
objects and perform elementary manipulations, with visual and haptic
feedback. The virtual environment consists of collision detection and
dynamics software modules, a simple graphics representation, plus the
kinematics and dynamics interface necessary to drive the force
display. We will also present a force-feedback virtual squash, with
two or more players located in Seattle and Padova (Italy). The game is
an example of how to implement force feedback in a shared
environment. The reproduction of a faithful and stable force signal to
the operator requires the computation of forces with low latency and
