Description
Summary:"Haptic, human-computer interaction is interaction between a human computer user and the computer user interface based on the powerful human sense of touch. Haptic hardware has been discussed and explored for some time, in particular in the context of computer games. Haptic technology is now maturing and migrating from research labs into real-world applications and commercial products. However, so far, little attention has been paid to the general principles of haptic HCI and the systematic use of haptic devices for improving efficiency, effectiveness, and satisfaction in HCI." "This book is the first one to focus on haptic human-computer interaction. It is based on a workshop held in Glasgow, UK, in August/September 2000"--Jacket.
