From: Jason Fritz Subject: ONLINE: New Haptics List Date: Mon, 19 Aug 1996 11:41:36 -0400 Message-ID: Organization: University of Delaware EE/CIS Lab Greetings, As a field of active research, haptics and haptic interfaces is relatively new. Haptics, for anyone who is not familiar with the term, refers to the sense of touch, both tactile and proprioceptive. Haptic interfaces allow force-feedback and manual interaction with virtual or remote environments. In an effort to help the progression of research and interest in this field, the Applied Science and Engineering Laboratories of the University of Delaware and the A.I. duPont Institute have created an email list server. This purpose of the list is to create a forum for research discussion, questions, etc. as well as to provide information on the latest applications, devices, software, etc. As with all lists of this type, its success at meeting these goals depends on the participants.There is no way for me to reach everyone interested in haptics, so please pass this along to anyone you know. Thank you. To subscribe to the list, send a message to haptics-request@asel.udel.edu with SUBSCRIBE in the body. The Subject: will be ignored. Upon subscription, you will receive more information about the list, and how to obtain information on list operation. If there are any problems, please send a message to haptics-approval@asel.udel.edu or myself at fritz@asel.udel.edu. hope to see you on the list, Jason NWU has recently created a Haptics Community Web Page. Check it out as well. http://haptic.mech.nwu.edu/ Jason P. Fritz Graduate Research Asst., U of Delaware fritz@asel.udel.edu Dept. of Electrical Engineering http://www.asel.udel.edu/~fritz/
