Super-Reality Tele-Interaction Using Haptic Environments

近年来，随着宽带网络技术的发展，虚拟现实技术与远程交互技术一样成为一个非常活跃的研究领域。具有力反馈和坚韧的虚拟环境（Haptics）系统可以让用户感受到操纵虚拟物体的感觉。因此，触觉的研究可以潜在的受益于广泛的虚拟现实应用，如在医疗模拟，培训，远程操作和残疾人和盲人community.This研究解决了超级远程交互系统的体系结构，多用户远程通信，虚拟环境中，使三维物体在共享的虚拟环境中的应用。用户可以体验触摸和操纵虚拟对象，但也可以感受他们的触觉，如重量，表面光滑度和顺应性。由触觉虚拟现实技术和远程通信技术组成的超遥交互系统与基于网络的共享虚拟环境密切相关，能够实现多个虚拟世界通过网络连接，实现信息共享。JAIST研究小组开发并实现了基于网络的SVE，用于多用户设计三维物体。INTEC研究小组针对传统应用美术开发了VR中的触觉绘画系统。IRII研究小组使用压力传感器阵列在VR中实现了3D对象设计系统。我们还实现了虚拟现实机器人系统的远程互动，通过互联网和提出了触觉控制系统之间的网络机器人和虚拟现实机器人。这些研究成果是实现协同共享力觉虚拟环境和超现实遥交互系统的基础技术。

The virtual reality (VR) becomes an active area of research as tele-interaction in recent years due to the advanced progress in broadband network. Virtual environment (Haptics) system with force feedback and the sense of tough allows users feeling of manipulating virtual objects. Thus, haptic research can potentially benefit a wide range of virtual reality application as in medical simulation, training, telemanipulation and applications for handicapped and blind community.This research addresses the Super-Tele-Interaction system architecture of multi-user remote communication in, virtual environment to make 3D objects in shared virtual environments. Users can experience touching and manipulating virtual objects, but also feel their haptics such as weight, surface smoothness, and compliance. Super-Tele-Interaction system consisting of haptic virtual reality and telecommunication is closely related to the network-based shared virtual environment (SVE) and can achieve multiple virtual worlds connected by the network to share information with one another. JAIST research group has developed and e implemented the network-based SVE to design 3D objects by multi users. INTEC research group has developed the haptic painting system in VR for traditional applied fine arts. IRII research group implemented the 3D-object design system in VR using pressure sensor array. We have also implemented VR robotics system for tele-interaction though the internet and proposed the haptics control system between network-robots and VR-robots. These research results are basic technology to realize the collaborative shared haptic virtual environment and super-reality tele-interaction system.
