Evaluation of the Prop-based Stringed Haptic Workbench
Participants : Michaël Ortega, Sabine Coquillart, Olivier Martin.
In 2005, i3D, in collaboration with PSA Peugeot Citroën, has proposed the prop-based Stringed Haptic Workbench [24], an extension of the Stringed Haptic Workbench [27] proposed 2 years earlier, and has developed on top of it an automotive application for simulating putty application [24]. This application also benefits from the generalization to the six degree-of-freedom God-Object method [3][14]. In 2006, an evaluation of the putty application has started. First, a number of informal experiments has been conducted and has proved to be quite promising. Formal evaluations comparing the putty application in real and in virtual are now in progress. Twelve subjects performed the putty application task in real and in virtual. Completion time and trajectories have been recorded, in order to analyze the hand movement under each of the two conditions.
Figure 4 represents the initial posture of a subject, the prototyping environment and the junction to be done.
