An Applicable Platform for Web Interactive Content Hapticization

Abstract:

Haptic technology again receives extensive attentions recently by virtue of improvement on Internet Technology. This paper presents an applicable platform for Haptics by employing physical features of sense-of-touch through electromechanical devices and the latest attractive HTML standard specified by W3C, aims at offering new attributes and reliable communications with the ease of use for web content. In addition, the proposed platform demonstrates its significance on wrapping up fundamental rendering methodologies including Haptics and web graphical content, is a step forward in supporting study of all fields related to web-based interactive content (e.g., Haptics researchers, physicists, software engineers, and web designers). Finally, we provide a conceptual example of proposed platform and prove its proficiency on haptic data communication. The results of the experimental evaluations highlight the effectiveness, stableness, affordance and extensibility for future research.
