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.
