  • Synchronous interpersonal haptic communication system
    Patent number: 8294557
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and system of synchronous haptic communications between an active user and a passive user through a network is provided. An image from an imaging device is captured of the passive user. Geometry or position data is determined from the captured image by utilizing a depth component of the capture image. Haptic feedback is generated to a haptic interface used by the active user based upon the determined geometry or position data. Haptic data is captured from the haptic interface used by the active user and tactile output is generated to a tactile display associated with the passive user wherein the tactile output is based upon the haptic data in correlation with the geometry or position data to determine collisions therein.
