A 6-DOF user interface for grasping in VR-based computer aided styling and design

Published: 07 November 2005 Publication History

Abstract

We describe a 6-DoF (degrees of freedom) force-feedback enabled user interface that supports grasp interaction in mixed or virtual reality environments. The graspable part of the device is interchangeable. It can hold physical grips, tubes, work pieces and tools which provide passive haptic feedback, up to tangible user interfaces. The device is prepared to be integrated into holobench environments for unifying input and output space so that users can apply their sensorimotor skills for efficient interaction and task solving. Current applications are in the field of VR-based Computer Aided Styling and Design.
