Haptical rendering of rough surfaces using its fractal dimension “

In this paper we present a current state of research in the field of examining scientific (especially chemical) data via haptic devices. The first section shows our technical solution—PHANToM driver in RT Linux, the second one is a case study describing our application in development. 1 PHANToM in RT Linux
