Abstract

Virtual reality technologies become very popular for many users. Advanced force feedback devices can realize tactile sensation in the virtual space. These devices are expected to bring advanced interactions between human and computer. On the other hand, photo retouch or painting softwares are also very popular. However, they can not always use these tools easily because operation are very complicated. In this paper, we discuss about a new advanced retouch tool with haptic (force feedback) interfaces. Users can utilise additional haptic information for image processing. By using a prototype of this tool, we discuss about a method of haptic rendering and display for image features.
