{"product_id":"performance-metrics-for-haptic-interfaces","title":"Performance Metrics for Haptic Interfaces","description":"\u003cp\u003eHaptics technology is being used more and more in different applications, such as in computer games for increased immersion, in surgical simulators to create a realistic environment for training of surgeons, in surgical robotics due to safety issues and in mobile phones to provide feedback from user action. The existence of these applications highlights a clear need to understand performance metrics for haptic interfaces and their implications on device design, use and application. \u003ci\u003ePerformance Metrics for Haptic Interfaces\u003c\/i\u003e aims at meeting this need by establishing standard practices for the evaluation of haptic interfaces and by identifying significant performance metrics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTowards this end, a combined physical and psychophysical experimental methodology is presented. Firstly, existing physical performance measures and device characterization techniques are investigated and described in an illustrative way. Secondly, a wide range of human psychophysical experiments are reviewed and the appropriate ones are applied to haptic interactions. The psychophysical experiments are unified as a systematic and complete evaluation method for haptic interfaces. Finally, synthesis of both evaluation methods is discussed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe metrics provided in this state-of-the-art volume will guide readers in evaluating the performance of any haptic interface. The generic methodology will enable researchers to experimentally assess the suitability of a haptic interface for a specific purpose, to characterize and compare devices quantitatively and to identify possible improvement strategies in the design of a system.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46248063926482,"sku":"9781447158035","price":142.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46248063959250,"sku":"9781447142249","price":160.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Kobo eBook","offer_id":46248063992018,"sku":"9049eb5e-7565-3293-a66f-eba7a6ad7b8b","price":116.09,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/1_8cbc3012-afe3-4bf4-9e78-bff7babaf476.jpg?v=1762773348","url":"https:\/\/www.indigo.ca\/products\/performance-metrics-for-haptic-interfaces","provider":"Indigo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
