Haptic Images

The development of tactile screens opens new perspectives for co-located images and haptic rendering, leading to the concept of “haptic images”. They emerge from the combination of image data, rendering hardware, and haptic perception. This enables one to perceive haptic feedback while manually exploring an image. This work has been conducted by Antoine Costes during his PhD program at Inria and Technicolor.
