Abstract
Humans interact with their surrounding environment through five
sensory channels, popularly labeled "sight," "sound," "taste,"
"smell," and "touch." It is our sense of touch which provides
us with much of the information necessary to modify and
manipulate the world around us. The word haptic refers
to something of or relating to the sense of touch:
conveying information on physical properties such as inertia,
friction, compliance, temperature, and roughness. This sense
can be divided into two categories: the kinesthetic sense,
through which we sense movement or force in muscles and
joints; and the tactile sense, through which we sense shapes
and textures. This chapter will focus on the stable control of
devices and systems which support hap- tic interaction, especially
relating to the use of kinesthetic sense in virtual environments.
