Abstract
Multimedia and information technology are reaching limits in terms of what can be done in multimedia applications with only sight and sound. The next critical step is to bring the sense of "touch" over network connections, which is commonly known as tele-haptics. In this paper, we present methodologies for performing usability evaluation of tele-haptics system. The overall performance of a tele-haptics system relies on two aspects: the mechanical characteristics of the haptic device used and system architecture
