Virtual Sectioning and Haptic Exploration of Volumetric Shapes in the Absence of Visual Feedback

Figure 5

(a) Typical tracks recorded during haptic exploration and identification of virtual volumetric shapes in the parallel scanning mode. The repeated inspection and exploration in more detail were required with respect to shapes having smooth rounded surfaces. (b) 3D reconstruction of the virtual shapes explored in the parallel scanning mode.
