A Remote Haptic Painting Lesson System

摘要

This paper deals with a remote haptic painting lesson system by which a teacher trains a student how to paint pictures or figures while conveying the sense of force interactively through a network. In the system, we introduce media synchronization control in order to achieve a high quality of haptic transmission. We make a quality comparison of four media synchronization schemes (Virtual-Time Rendering (VTR), VTR with prediction, fixed buffering with prediction, and Skipping) by subjective assessment.
