Apparatus and method for implementing haptic-based networked virtual environment which supports high-resolution tiled display
An apparatus and method of implementing haptic-based networked virtual environments supporting high-resolution tiled displays. A haptic rendering process of detecting collision between a user of a haptic-device over a virtual environment and each of at least one virtual object and providing a physical force corresponding to a detection result to the haptic-device is performed, and a graphic rendering process of converting each virtual object represented as 3-D data into an object stream represented as 2-D data such that each virtual object is displayed as a 2-D image, and assigning a priority and a frame rate to each converted object stream according to a preset assignment criterion is performed. A plurality of displays provide a display image, including object streams of the virtual objects and background pixels, so that a virtual environment allowing the user of the haptic-device to visually and tactilely immerse thereto is effectively realized by utilizing limited resources.
