This volume presents The Proceedings of the 11th International Symposium on Haptic Interfaces for Virtual Environments and Teleoperator Systems, held in Los Angeles, California, USA, in March 2003. The book is divided into seven sections and comprises 37 presentations, and 21 poster and demonstration papers, providing a broad overview of current research.

Session I, Device Design, includes seven papers discussing topics including “The WHaT: A Wireless Haptic Texture Sensor”, “Haptic Displays Based on Magnetorheological Fluids: Design, Realisation and Psycholophysical Validation”, “Multi-Fingered Tactile Feedback from Virtual and Remote Environments” and “SmartTouch – Augmentation of Skin Sensation with Electrocutaneous Display”.

“Spatial Low Pass Filters for Pin Actuated Tactile Displays”, “Human Motor Performance while Using a Single-DOF Visual Haptic Interface” and “Guidelines for Designing Haptic Master Hands Based on Dynamic Multi-Fingered Manipulability” are amongst the six papers presented in Session II, Device Evaluation and Performance.

The following three sessions address Control and Modelling, Psychophysics, and Rendering, respectively. Papers presented include “The Haptic Probe: Mechanised Haptics Exploration and Automated Modelling”, “The Effect of Sensor/Actuator Asymmetries in Haptic Interface” and “Material Discriminations and Thermal Perception”.

Session VI, Applications presents six papers including “Haptic Effects for Virtual Reality- Based Post-Stroke Rehabilitation”, “Electro-Rheological Fluidic Actuators for Haptic Vehicular Instrument Controls” and “Implementation of a Haptic Interface for a Virtual Reality Simulator for Flexible Endoscopy”. “Sensor Assisted Telemanipulation for Maximising Manipulation Capabilities of Persons With Disabilities”, “An Actuator for the Tactile Vest – A Torso-Based Haptic Device” and “Design of Data Glove and Arm Type Haptic Interface” are amongst the 21 Poster and Demonstration Papers presented in Session VII.

Overall, this book is a comprehensive reference text providing coverage of some of the latest developments in the rapidly expanding field of haptic research.
