Manipulation in a Virtual Haptic Environment Based on Magnetic Levitation
Manipulation in a Virtual Haptic Environment Based on Magnetic Levitation

Magnetic levitation is a substantially new approach which promises a qualitative leap in improvement of haptic (sense of touch) computer interactions. A user interacts with the computer by using a rigid tool to interact with computed environments. We are testing the capabilities of this system to guide manipulation.
