Abstract

The use of haptics in scientific visualization has barely begun, yet it already shows great promise. While haptics may be useful for pure visualization tasks, its true power comes from its ability to allow the user to simultaneously push on and be pushed by the computer. This allows direct and immediate control and sensing of parameters in a simulation.
