摘要
Work in progress at BT Labs to investigate the use of a haptic display as a component of an emerging de facto standard (VRML) for the display of three-dimensional images on the WWW is reported. Use of a simple haptic interface to provide access to three-dimensional virtual images is discussed. This is based on experience of developing a browser capable of driving a force-feedback probe from a VRML file. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
