Supporting Haptic Collaboration through Interaction Analysis


SHaCIA: Supporting Haptic Collaboration through Interaction Analysis An EPSRC-funded first grant scheme research project.

Project SHaCIA was a three-year project funded by the EPSRC, which ran from March 2005-February 2008. The project explored how distributed users interact across networks using haptic interfaces, particularly using an interaction analytic approach. A full project abstract is available.

People Mike Fraser was principal investigator. Will Pearson conducted his PhD as part of this project.
