Abstract:

Humans experience the world with all their senses, including vision, touch, and hearing. Therefore, human interfaces should provide correlated multisensory information that is both realistic and responsive to interaction. I will describe how we can construct such environments with integrated graphics, haptics, and sounds. I will show how we can construct physically based models suitable for multisensory interactive simulation, and how these models could be acquired from the real world. Finally, I will describe the HAVEN, our new Haptic, Auditory, and Visual Environment.
