Multi-sensory communications with haptics attract a number of researchers in recent years.
To provide services of the communications with high realistic sensations, the researchers …

This paper proposes a group synchronization control scheme with prediction in work using
haptic media. The scheme adjusts the output timing among multiple terminals and keeps the …

Robotic systems are useful in many sectors, mainly used to benefit and enhance people's
lives. Robots can explore hidden and unknown places, carry out precise tasks without …

3D Collaborative Virtual Environments (3DCVE) enable geographically distant users to
conduct collaborative activities in a shared virtual environment. However, this collaboration …

In this chapter, we explain the present status of studies for media synchronization in
networked multisensory applications with haptics. We also specify the characteristics of …

This paper presents a real-time physically based platform for multi-sensory interactive
simulation. This platform is centred on high quality dynamic requirements driven by the …

Abstract Background: 3D Collaborative Virtual Environments (3DCVE) have been used to
allow multiple geographically distant users to share virtual reality environment. This remote …

In recent years there has been a boom of different natural interaction paradigms, such as
touch or gesture-based interfaces, that make better use of human's innate skills rather than …

Networked haptic cooperation entails direct interactions among the networked users in
addition to joint manipulations of shared virtual objects. For example, therapists may want to …

Human ability to perceive surface shapes plays a crucial role in understanding their
surrounding objects and environments. Although the sense of vision has been employed …
