Haptic rendering
Haptic rendering describes the generation of haptic sensory impressions. In most cases, forces from the virtual world are calculated in the computer and transmitted to the human being via a haptic output device .
In contrast to graphic rendering, haptic rendering requires a much higher sampling rate in the range of 1 kHz .
Areas of application for haptic rendering are:
- Training of workers
- Maintainability check
- Expanded reality
There are two major international conferences on the subject. In America, the community has been meeting at the Symposium on Haptic Interfaces since 1992 . The European equivalent, the EuroHaptics conference, took place for the first time in 2001. In 2005, these two conferences were held together for the first time under the name WorldHaptics .
