Abstract

This paper presents work carried out for a project to develop interface devices for haptics that includes finger/hand manipulation, locomotion. It is well known that sense of touch is inevitable for understanding the real world. The last decade has seen significant advance in development of haptic interface. However, methods for implementation of haptic devices are still in try-and-error. Compared to visual and auditory displays, haptic display has not been used in everyday life. In order to overcome this limitation, we have been exhibiting the interface devices as art work. This paper introduces issues and solutions in haptic device through 18-years history of our research activities.
