The Human Technology Research Institute of AIST has developed "i3Space," a system that presents a tactile sensation (sense of touch) and a kinesthetic sensation (resistance) in the air when a user views 3D images; this system enables us to design shapes of objects and to simultaneously confirm how we feel when we touch the objects. This system has been developed by combining 3D television and the small-sized non-base-type haptic interface using sensory illusion, which can present highly sensitive and continuous tactile and kinesthetic sensations .
It is expected that the system will be used in surgery simulators and in 3D CAD, when an interface that integrates tactile and kinesthetic senses in addition to multiple senses such as visual and auditory senses is three-dimensionalized.
