Title
Adaptive haptic rendering for time-varying haptic and video frame rates in multi-modal interactions
Abstract
In multi-modal interactions including haptics, problems such as input sensor noise, temporal mismatch between graphics and haptics, and non-constant refresh rates may cause non-smooth force-torque display. This paper proposes temporal smoothing technique for haptic interaction using a sensing glove in multi-modal applications. The proposed technique employs two processes: (1) a noise reduction method is applied to reduce jitter noise at the sensors in the sensing glove and (2) an adaptive force extrapolation is applied for time-varying haptic and video frame rates. To demonstrate the performance of the proposed method, we developed a test platform to assess a simple box model and relatively complex models such as gamephone, portable media player (PMP). It was subsequently demonstrated that the proposed method can support smooth haptic interactions in multi-modal applications where a haptic device and a sensing glove are used.

This paper proposes a temporal smoothing technique for an interactive and smooth interaction using a haptic device and a sensing glove for multi-modal applications. The proposed technique employs a noise reduction method to reduce jitter noise in the sensing glove and an adaptive force extrapolation to alleviate the force discontinuity due to the time varying haptic and video frame rates. Through the exemplary applications and subjective user evaluation, the performance of proposed method was evaluated.
