Abstract

This paper proposes a string-driven pen-based interface, which is capable of two translational and one rotational (2T1R) interaction, and co-located haptic-visual display. The inputs of interface are translation and rotation of pen tip tracked by strings. Simultaneously, force and moment feedbacks are displayed at pen tip via string tensions. In addition, visual display and haptic display are coincident and well integrated. With this device, user can create, design and manipulate virtual world with force feedback by drawing, selecting, moving or rotating objects on display in a natural and intuitive way. Experiments show that this interface can greatly improve manipulation efficiency. And a system which combines this interface and simulated 2D physical world for physics education is developed to demonstrate its merit.
