Project Summary
- Project Title: Development of a Computer Interface for Virtual Touch
- Using hardware developed as part of previous projects, I intend to improve our system of creating virtual fabrics so that they more accuratly represent the real fabrics. This development is to be achieved by increasing our understand of the sense of touch, and running experiments to compare our current rendering strategy to the real fabrics and other rendering strategies.
