Symposium 3 - Haptics for Telepresence, Teleoperation and Collaborative Environments
Chair: Mehdi AMMI, CNRS/LIMSI, Univ. Paris-Sud 11, Haptic-SIG, France
Co-chair: Jérôme PERRET, Haption, Haptic-SIG, France
While haptic sense provides the most natural way to interact and physically feel the environment, it also has an important role in communication and collaboration between users through co-located and remote configurations. This workshop intends to foster exchanges among participants and exhibit recent and original findings in the field of Haptics for Telepresence, Teleoperation and Collaborative Environments.
Bien que le sens haptique soit la manière la plus naturelle d'interagir et de resentir physiquement un environnement virtuel, il a aussi un rôle important pour la communication et la collaboration entre les utilisateurs par le biais de configurations co-localisées ou à télé-opérées.
