3D touch technology can be used for remote medical

There was a friend of virtual participation in birthday party, or transfer a new product on trial for distant consumers, this sounds really incredible.

But according to physicist organization network recently reported that a "immersion" study (Immersence), in the EU 6th framework plan for the future and emerging technologies (FET) foresight project support, is this vision into reality.

This technology successfully consolidated the perception of the real world and virtual world impression, additionally trained therapists will be able to use it to do remote treatment, industrial designers can remote transmission on the Internet can touch the numeric entity model, etc.

Feel simulation, we are immersed in virtual reality the deeper.

Germany Munich University of technology of Andres ·, Wayne Borg said that more perception will bring more interactive, immersive feeling more strongly, the more the "immersion" in virtual reality.

As a three-dimensional scenery with touch arm

In recent years, audiovisual and more lifelike simulation and tactile areas has been dragged back leg.

Switzerland Zurich Federal Institute of technology (ETH) computer vision research laboratory scientists accept the "immersion" in a subproject, the Visual and tactile, dealing with people and the interaction between virtual goals and realize remote touch object.

Mathias · Mashhad and research other personnel first to real objects to produce a virtual copy, the copy can be touch, even in Internet transmission.

They use a soft toy frog, a record of its 3D scanning the image, while a tactile device — sensing arms to perceive it, and the Visual and tactile impression.

Sensor arm fitted with pressure, speed, and sliding sensors, able to move from any direction, collect overall, ruggedness, etc. After the measurement, calculation, a virtual frog is computer generated. In order to enhance the true feeling, they returned to the virtual frog design a real environment, so that his "crawl" in front of users on the table.

Virtual frog also can copy copies via the Internet to other people.

In order to let other people can see and feel the frog, researchers dedicated to virtual objects to design a data with a monitor and an eyepiece with small motor sensor. Virtual frog and sensor signals into contact, a computer program by calculating, simulation of objects of resistance when exposed to users of the campaign the impediment, making him feel as if I touch the frog, but in fact, he's just touch the air.

Early on the simulation of virtual target largely depends on the assumptions of researchers, and the ETH tool more based on measurement data.

Explain that this method can be thought of as an extension of camera technology, for those who are very difficult to model more complex objects is described.

The "immersion" virtual and where to dance

Germany Munich Polytechnic University is the "immersion" project of research institutions, Andres ·, Wayne Borg leadership, nine universities and research institutions to develop VR (virtual reality) goals and features haptic technology.

They develop a sense of touch and multiple model interface, use the signal process technology and real time generation of the reality of virtual objects, targets will allow people and virtual partner dancing together.

The researchers used a mobile robot platform, input records pressure, balancing, and live dance exercise programs, and then to a real person plus two arm as a partner, put on the dummy eyepiece, this person will be able to see a specific partner, lift the robot arm can and she dances.

In the virtual environment, the robot from computer operation, as another "' where da" (avatar).

These studies also contributes to the development of cognitive robots and humans interact better.

Reality and false Interactive Haptic technology

Now we can touch a virtual objects, but also can not catch it.

To have the feeling of the "grab", you need a special feeling glove, put on the gloves, users are able to touch the real objects, you can touch the virtual objects. ETH is developing this kind of gloves, Lienhard believe that gloves in the next 20 years will be like the Internet is widely used.

France El Tarif University also study how to two individuals with sensor for virtual common handling in a heavy box.

-Wayne Borg said that, in reality, this is a cooperative process, the robot interface must design a program that is not a people-driven and the other follows.

ETH computer vision research Switzerland has developed a table tennis game, reality only paddle joysticks, two players can blows virtual table tennis.

Their next project known as the "beam", intends to develop a long distance transfer method to transfer virtual person. Ahmad said that this will make it possible to participate in the teleconference, without having to personally help to save time and travel expenses. This is now the video conferencing more thoroughly, I feel like with other attendees to sit together, you can interact with other attendees.
