Abstract

The field of Tactile Internet (TI) is transporting physical interactions over vast distances as if they were near. This teleoperation method increases the quality of tele-engineering, telesurgery and many other fields. However, it requires the strict end to end latency constraints of a few ms, which is still out of reach. This thesis looks at the first step of this pipeline, the Human Machine Interface (HMI). We redesign a SenseGlove MK1, A VR haptic feedback glove, to reduce the latency to under 0.5 ms. We then use prediction to have an effective latency of less than -0.8 ms, creating the first Negative Latency Glove. This gives the rest of the TI system a larger latency budget than before.
