Haptoclone creates 3D visual images of objects and produces haptic interactions with the 3D images. The system has two small workspaces and they are completely symmetrical. A person’s hand or an object in a workspace is cloned to the other workspace and two people in front of the two workspaces can touch each other through their 3D images with haptic feedback.
