Abstract

This paper presents a remote haptic calligraphy systemwhich can control a remote haptic interface device with another haptic interface device. In the system, a teacher can instruct a student at a remote location how to use a calligraphy brush while conveying the sense of force through a network. We also present media synchronization control with prediction in order to maintain a high quality of haptic transmission. Under the control, network delay jitter is absorbed by buffering, and the positional information is output by prediction if the information is lost or arrives significantly late. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the control by subjective assessment.
