Abstract
Haptic feedback is a promising interaction modality for a variety of applications. In contrast to visual displays, haptic interfaces create a tightly coupled information flow via position sensing and force feedback. When users are presented with a proper combination of visual and haptic information, they experience a sensory synergy resulting from physiological reinforcement of the displayed multimodal cues. To develop visualization and exploration techniques that increase insight and intuitive understanding of scientific datasets, the chapter considers an integrated immersive visual and haptic system, the visual haptic workbench. The chapter summarizes the experiences with this system, discusses relevant issues in the context of developing effective visualization applications for immersive environments, and describes a haptic rendering technique that facilitates intuitive exploration modes for multifield volumetric datasets.
