“…The libraries will provide relatively basic haptic features, but they also offer extensibility for customized physical modeling, shape rendering, force effects, collision detection, dynamics and other third-party engines. More haptic modeling libraries are available but not widely applied as the ones listed in Table 1 [57][58][59][60][61].…”

Abstract. Serious gaming often requires high level of realism for training and learning purposes. Haptic technology has been proved to be useful in many applications with an additional perception modality complementary to the audio and the vision. It provides novel user experience to enhance the immersion of virtual reality with a physical control-layer. This survey focuses on the haptic technology and its applications in serious gaming. Several categories of related applications are listed and discussed in details, primarily on haptics acts as cognitive aux and main component in serious games design. We categorize haptic devices into tactile, force feedback and hybrid ones to suit different haptic interfaces, followed by description of common haptic gadgets in gaming. Haptic modeling methods, in particular, available SDKs or libraries either for commercial or academic usage, are summarized. We also analyze the existing research difficulties and technology bottleneck with haptics and foresee the future research directions.

“…Haptics is possible to be implemented in four areas which is human haptics, computer haptics, multimedia haptics and machine haptics [21]- [23]. Research related to haptics has moved to multidisciplinary that involved the four main areas as shown in Fig.…”

“…It focused on algorithm development and software to produce sense of touch to the virtual object through haptic visual and rendering. While multimedia haptic is referred as the integration and synchronisation haptic interfaces data presentation, with other media, in multimedia application that utilized gesture recognition, tactile sense and force feedback [21], [22]. The integration of this four areas enables the visualizalition of information that enhance features in visual informatics area.…”

“…Even though many research has been carried out recently on laparoscopy surgery skill training [4], [5], [8], technologies and modeling of tissues [25]- [27] and also development made for laparoscopy skill training [12], [14]- [16], [18], [21], [24], [28]- [30] but most of the application developed or experiment carried out focuses on task but none of it provide for a single and complete surgery procedure such as hernia repair, cyst remove and etc. Research in grasp control shown that surgeons perform better if suitable application that provide force feedback thus help them in improve their skill ability [28]- [30].…”

Abstract-Minimal invasive surgery or laparoscopy has taken part especially for pediatrics. Traditionally, medical students learn surgical skills through the mentorship model during their residency training. As technology evolves, more and more applications, simulations and system are built as aids to medical students in acquiring surgical skills. This research is conducted to identify how haptics technology can play part in shaping student skills in Surgery Department of HUKM. This paper will discuss the second phase of the research: Design and Development that focus on simulation class structure based on preliminary analysis. Results show that current training approaches have some weaknesses that can be replaced by applying simulations with haptics devices. Proposed structure will be tested in development stage. It is a hope that this research will enrich the literature review for visual informatics area.

“…The HAML formalism is completely textual and is supported by the authoring tool HAMLAT [8], which allows users to render the haptical properties of a virtual environment with no programming skills. However, all the proposed libraries and specification languages are very general and address mainly hardware aspects, and/or are typically conceived for 3D graphics.…”

Abstract. In the last years we have witnessed an increasing adoption of haptic devices (allowing the user to feel forces or vibrations) in several fields of applications, from gaming, to mobile, automotive, etc. Some efforts have been done to enhance also Web applications interfaces with haptics, either to improve accessibility or, more in general, to improve usability. Despite the spreading of haptic applications, their development is still a time consuming task that requires significant programming skills. In particular, in the Web context no plug-ins or style extensions are currently available and applications must be developed from scratch. In this paper we describe a framework to easily include haptic interaction in Web applications, focusing both on haptic interaction modeling and on its implementation.
