Analysis of Force Sensation by use of Virtual Reality and its Application to Force Telecommunication System

本研究的目的是澄清两个力觉机制和交互式力通信系统，通过使用虚拟现实技术获得的触觉接口，这是一个力的演示设备。结果表明，通过澄清所提出的系统设计和控制算法获得的基本特性的交互式电信系统的可能性。至于力觉机制，结果表明，即使在盲人条件下训练，上肢运动也会受到视觉信息的强烈影响。

This research aims at clarifying both force sensation mechanism and an interactive force telecommunication system by use of virtual reality technology obtained by a Haptic Interface which is a force presentation device. Results show a possibility of the interactive telecommunication system by clarifying fundamental characteristics obtained by proposed system designs and control algorithms. As for the force sensation mechanism, the results show upper limb movement strongly affected by visual information even if the limb is trained under blind condition.
