Shake it: A portable haptic mouse and shaking application

This paper proposes a haptic mouse system and a vibrotactile rendering method for providing haptic sensation when a user shakes a box containing e tiny object. For the vibrotactile rendering. we suggest a haptic model which realistically simulates the haptic behavior of the object in real-three. The proposed haptic model consists of virtual dampers and virmal cylinders in order to haptically simulate the haptic behavior of the object having a tiny object. In the proposed system. vibrotactile and thermal sensation are created by eccentric motors and a peltier actuator, respectively. The test for the proposed haptic mouse and the proposed rendering method is accomplished by implementing a ldquoshaking box applicationrdquo.
