Abstract :
This paper presents a finger pad force display device for a hand haptic interface for use in a virtual reality environment. The haptic interface consists of finger pad force display devices and a 3D fingertip haptic display device. The finger pad force display device is closed-loop controlled by the use of a tactile sensor. The design concept, the specifications of the finger pad force display and an experimental comparison between open-loop control and closed-loop control in the case of object touching in a virtual reality are presented.
