Rendering 6-DOF Object-to-Object Interaction with 3-DOF Haptic Interfaces

Three degree-of-freedom (3-DOF) tool-based haptic interfaces are widely used in virtual environment to train operators, and for virtual prototyping and design. In some special cases with higher requirement on haptic fidelity, the tool needs to be modeled as an object with real volume rather than a single point. However, such object -to-object...
