A methodology to evaluate contact areas and indentations of human fingertips based on 3D techniques for haptic purposes

This paper presents a methodology to study the contact of human fingers with surfaces based on 3D techniques. This method helps to investigate the fingertip mechanical properties which are crucial for designing haptic interfaces. The dependence of the fingertip deformation on the applied forces is o...
