Technology, 1978
Professor Hollerbach's interests
include robotics and virtual reality. The focus in virtual reality is
on improving the transparency and sense of immersion through better
mechanical interfaces and their control, better visual and auditory
displays, and sensorimotor integration. Haptic interfaces are being
employed for virtual manipulation of mechanical CAD models and for
scientific visualization. The Treadport locomotion interface is being
employed for walk-through synthetic environments such as outdoor
terrain.
