NTT Com System Creates Illusion and Tactile Feeling - Video Report
By JCN Newsdesk
Tokyo, July 12, 2007 (JCN) - NTT Communications has developed a system which creates not only the illusion of depth visually but also the tactile feeling to go with it, allowing people to shake hands or hold solid objects from across the globe.
The system combines a stereoscopic camera setup with a haptic glove connected to a 3D display. When the user sees the object in front of him and touches it, the hand is manipulated by various components in the glove to make it feel as if it is touching a solid object.
As the process is happening in real time, when the object, such as a hand,
moves, the user can also feel the movement.
Possible applications include video conferencing, education or making rare
museum exhibit touchable.
