Abstract

In recent years, rapid technological advances have changed how many existing tasks are performed. For example, the combination of virtual environments and the Internet is presenting a powerful opportunity in the area of medical training and rehabilitation. Here we present our design and preliminary experience with a tele-haptic environment augmented with a voice conferencing system. Initial tests are encouraging and reveal the promise of our system.
