In April 2016 Manchester eScholar was replaced by the University of Manchester’s new Research Information Management System, Pure. In the autumn the University’s research outputs will be available to search and browse via a new Research Portal. Until then the University’s full publication record can be accessed via a temporary portal and the old eScholar content is available to search and browse via this archive.

Abstract

This paper describes initial investigations, primarily from a textile and the related industries perspective, in developing and refining current fabric/texture simulation and interface design. We have considered the interactive possibilities of fabrics within a virtual environment using a simple haptic device, a commercially viable computer peripheral - Logitech?s Wingman Mouse, which was developed by the Immersion Corporation for two dimensional (2D) exploration for the Games industry and desktop web navigation. Also, however because a majority of computer users are accustomed to using a mouse. The Wingman already has the facility to set up some simple mechanical variables to represent some of the more obvious tactile impressions in fabrics, e.g. denim for its overall roughness, and corduroy for its repetitive bumps. The results and issues involved are discussed in this paper.
