A 3-D graphical system for interactive adjustment and verification of multiple axes of motion for the upper extremity

摘要

With advances in computer graphic workstations and graphics oriented software, new kinematic modeling is under constant development. Previous kinematic models have been developed but their workstations and/or software have become outdated. Buford, et al. [1] developed an interactive kinematic simulation on Evans and Sutherland systems (ps300, ps330, and ps390) which are no longer available. Lin, et al. [4] developed a three-dimensional kinematic simulation on an Evans and Sutherland workstationwith PHIGS programming software. Since PHIGS (Programmer's Hierarchical Interactive Graphics System 1988 ISO Graphics Standard) is no longer the accepted standard for graphics software, this simulation is no longer portable.
