Haptic Interfaces for Virtual Environments: Perceived Instability and Force Constancy in Haptic Sensing of Virtual Surfaces

Haptic interfaces are becoming more commonplace in virtual environment and teleoperation systems. There is a growing need to not only continue to improve hardware platforms and rendering algorithms, but evaluate human performance with haptic interfaces. This review summarizes two recent studies inspired by perception problems in using haptic interfaces to interact with virtual environments. The first study evaluated perceived quality of virtual haptic textures and discovered several types of ...

50 Years Post-Sputnik

One key experimental satellite, Hermes, was launched in 1976 and featured the beginnings of direct-to-home service. Today, Telesat Canada is the fourth-largest satellite operator in the world, although it no longer builds its own communications satellites. ANIK F3 was orbited last May and Telesat's 19th satellite is currently on order. An even more recent example of Manitoba space activity has been the establishment of the Win-Cube Project. Initially sponsored by the Manitoba Satellite Inter...
