>At present, virtual reality immersive environments mainly utilise
>stereoscopic graphics and sound to create an immersive experience
>and to support the illusion of "being there". This seminar will be
>about adding haptics and the sense of touch to such environments.
>Special focus will be placed on the role of haptics in distributed
>virtual environments. Essential haptic concepts as well as potential
>advantages and drawbacks brought by haptics will be covered.
>Hopefully you will also have the opportunity to get some hands on
>experience of a haptic system.

>Welcome!
