Welcome to Introduction to haptics.
I'm Allison Okamura, the instructor for this course.
The activities for this first week of class consist of
watching three video sections, taking the quizzes
corresponding to each of those sections, and completing a
laboratory assignment.
The first section gives a general introduction to the
field of haptics and it describes some of the
logistics of this course.
In the second section, you'll learn about applications of
haptic technology.
The third section introduces human haptics since it is
important for haptic designers to know about the capabilities
and limitations of the human sense of touch.
Your lab assignment this week is to conduct a simple haptic
experiment.
After watching all the videos and completing the quizzes,
download the lab assignment and follow the instructions to
submit your data.
We will mail your hapkit to you after you've completed the
first week's assignment and submitted
your mailing address.
So try to get it done as soon as possible.
