Abstract

This paper proposes dynamic video resolution control based on haptic media in haptic and visual communications, where we can touch a real object located at a remote place by using haptic interface devices while watching the video of the object. Under the control, if the surface of the object being touched by a user is smooth, the temporal resolution of video is decreased; otherwise, we increase the resolution. We judge whether the surface of the object is smooth or not by using the positional information of haptic media. By experiment, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the control
