Development of 6DOF Finger-mounted Haptic Device for Operating by Two Fingers

摘要

When we operate virtual objects by fingers, we need 6DOF(degree-of-freedom) finger-mounted haptic devices. But such a device is often large because of placing many actuators. So, we developed a small-sized finger-mounted haptic device using the mechanism of bevel gear, and confirmed its operativness by operating a virtual object by two fingers, using this devices.
