The Impact of Feedback Design in Haptic Volume Visualization
Enhancing volume visualization with additional cues from our
sense of touch has shown the potential to increase both speed and
accuracy in the data exploration. Research in the area display a
wide array of modes of interaction and many of these have been
evaluated to demonstrate their capabilities. There are, however,
few studies performed that compare different approaches for their
strengths and weaknesses and there is a lack of guidelines on how
the haptic feedback should be designed to allow for best performance.
This paper describes a study on the in.uence of the basic principle chosen for data representation on the ability to identify faint
structures in the data. Three metaphors are compaired, two types
of shape metaphors and one force metaphor. Based on statistical
analysis on evaluation data, interviews and observations a set of
guidelines on the design of haptic visualization is described.
