Providing haptic feedback using the kinect

Published:24 October 2011Publication History

ABSTRACT

Interpreting surroundings through the senses often relies on visual channels for a full interpretation of the environment. Our approach substitutes this use of vision by integrating haptic feedback with the sensory data from the depth camera system packaged within the Microsoft Kinect.
