Abstract

The aim of this book was to investigate parameters in haptic perception that are important for designing haptic devices and haptic feedback. The data gathered in this investigation cover fundamentals of static haptic perception, fundamentals of dynamic haptic perception and studies into the design of intuitive haptic guidance. In this discussion chapter, these data will be discussed in the light of the aim of the book. First, the fundamental insights which this book provides for haptic perception will be discussed. Next, the reproducibility of the results is discussed. Finally, recommendations on how these results could be applied to haptic device and haptic guidance design will be given.
