Development and Evaluation of a Learning-based Model for Real-time Haptic Texture Rendering

arXiv:2212.13332v3 Announce Type: replace-cross
Abstract: Current Virtual Reality (VR) environments lack the rich haptic signals that humans experience during real-life interactions, such as the sensation of texture during lateral movement on a surface. Adding realistic haptic textures to VR environments requires a model that generalizes to variations of a user's interaction and to the wide variety of existing textures in the world. Current methodologies for haptic texture rendering exist, but they usually develop one model per texture, resulting in low …
