Arm reaching towards remembered targets in three-dimensional space was analyzed. The aim of the project was to test whether various amounts of visual feedback, in combination with constant forces applied to the arm during reaching would affect the magnitude and direction of the reaching errors. The robotic arm (Haptic Master, Moog Inc) recorded the spatial position of the pointer attached to its end effector, thus tracking the movement of the subject's arm. Three haptically rendered targets at different points in space were presented to the subjects using stereo virtual environment. The simulation was programmed using Visual C++ and OpenGL. Eight …
