A Poster titled, " Gesture Based Hand Movement Analysis and Haptic Feedback for Surgical Training", co-authored by myself Kanav Kahol, Dr. Mark Smith from Banner, Priyamvada Tripathi, Dr. John Ferrara from Banner, Dr. Sethuraman Panchanathan and Dr. Alan Leibowitz from Banner got selected as one of the best posters in the conferences titled, "Medicine Meets Virtual Reality 14" which was held in Long Beach California from Jan 24th to Jan 27th 2006.
Just got funded for the NSF Proposal titled "SGER: Incorporation of Psychological Basis of Haptics in the Design of Assistive Haptic User Interfaces" NSF Award 0554698. It is a humbling experience and I feel great and want to make the most of this opportunity.
Let the final onslaught begin! Getting ready for my thesis defense.
Came back from my trip to Italy.
Our research on haptics was featured in this semester's CSE Monitor News Letter.
