Abstract

SUMMARY: The UK Advanced Robotics Research Centre's VERDEX Project (Virtual Environment demote Driving Experiment) is an experimental test bed for investigating telepresence and virtual reality technologies in the design of human-system interfaces for telerobots. The achievements of the Project to date include the transformation of scanning laser rangefinder output to stereo virtual imagery (viewed using the VPL EyePhone^TM), the Teletact® Tactile Feedback Glove (for use with the VPL DataGlove^TM), a high-speed, head-slaved stereo TV system, and a T800/i860 SuperVision^TM graphics/video parallel processing system.
