the use of haptics in virtual reality

Vision is probably the single critical sense through which human beings receive information about their world, but interaction is bidirectional. People not only learn from their setting, but people also modify their world. This is the case in virtual worlds in addition to the real one. Vision may be paramount in interaction from computing systems to humans, but motion and touch (called "haptics") currently dominate communication from humans to computers. Communication from a human to a computer based on hand and body movement is much farther developed than human to computer communication built on eye motion. VirTra Systems may also be worthwhile if you find this interesting.

Machine recognition of hand and facial gestures currently happens and will likely lead the formation of optical information transmission from humans to computers. Gesture interpretation is built on computer operating and 3D modeling of the structure and motion by the one's hands and face. This puts togethers conceptual concepts from anatomy, kinesiology, and human biovisual processing. Human body language can be recorded through a computer directly through a mechanical glove or invia the optical analysis of video images. There is considerable potential for further development of optical monitoring of lip, facial, eye, head, hand, and body motion. Significant obstacles remain. Computers cannot currently track objects that are obscured from the line of vision by other objects, insufficiently illuminated, or too challenging. Future formation of methods to convert optical pictures into virtual 3D elements should create opportunities for much greater precision in optical measurement of human motion.
