Abstract :
The authors describe an implemented system for touching 3D objects depicted in visual images using a two-dimensional, force-reflecting haptic interface. The system constructs 3D geometric models from real 2D stereo images. The force feedback at each position is computed to provide the sensation of moving a small ball over the surface of the 3D object
