INTERACTION SYSTEM AND METHOD IN VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENTS USING HAPTIC DEVICES

摘要

System and method of interaction in virtual environments. The method comprises: detecting (104, 105) a zoom order of an initial virtual scene (212); generating (108), on the part of a graphic processing unit (206), a new virtual scene (216) from the initial virtual scene (212) with a modified magnification level depending on the zoom order detected; mapping (110) the working space of a haptic device (204) with the space representing the new virtual scene (216); and represent (112) the new virtual scene (216). The zoom order can be performed by pressing a button (205) of the haptic device (204) or by voice command. The zoom order is an instruction that allows the expansion level of the initial virtual scene (212) to be progressively modified or the expansion level of the initial virtual scene (212) modified according to a certain predefined value.
