Abstract

For a long time, human beings have dreamed of a virtual world where it is possible to interact with synthetic entities as if they were real. To date, the advances in computer graphics allow us to see virtual objects and avatars, to hear them, to move them, and to touch them. It has been shown that the ability to touch virtual objects increases the sense of presence in virtual environments [Insko 2001].
