Popis: The tactile display for virtual reality and telepresence or telexistence systems is continuously being enhanced to create an effective human-environment interface. Among the key elements in telepresence systems, the tactile observing device, called the tactile camera, plays the important role of obtaining tactile information from tactile objects. Previous systems based on haptic feedback systems provide only limited superficial information. This paper presents the development of a new tactile camera that explores beneath a deformable surface as well as providing surface information. Experiments verified that this device is capable of exploring a complex tactile object
