Abstract

Nowadays, advanced virtual reality technology realize to generate tactile sensations for user interface with haptic information, such as force feedback and tactile sensation. Haptic devices are expected to achieve new type of interaction between human and computer. We have proposed an advanced framework of image editing operations with haptic interaction. Users can utilize haptic information to edit images additionally. It can improve the usability and user-friendliness. In this paper, especially, we discuss using force feedback as supporting operation for image edition by using a prototype of this tool.
