The virtual tactile sense stimulation added to the left hand of virtual image presented by the liquid crystal display 1 is synchronized with the tactile sense stimulation added to the real left hand L by the data glove 2. By this, the operator H has the illusion that his left hand of virtual image presented by the liquid crystal display 1 is his left hand of real image. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO</p> |
