Abstract
Providing haptic feedback to a user over a packet-switched network includes sensing movement of a haptic device by a user, the haptic device being configured to control a first virtual object within a virtual environment, transmitting data associated with the movement of the haptic device from a client computer to a remote server via the packet-switched network, the server modeling movement of the first virtual object in the virtual environment and estimating an orientation and a position of the first virtual object within the virtual environment, the server determining a type of tactile feedback to be provided to the user, the server transmitting the type of tactile feedback data to the client computer via the packet-switched network, and providing tactile feedback to the user with the haptic device.
