Abstract
In this paper we study and introduce some ideas of applying
Haptics technology in the field of Education.We argue that Haptics technology
of virtually touching and feeling objects and forces, enhances the existing
methods and procedures of teaching and learning and it is a valuable tool for
pupils and students to apprehend certain aspects of knowledge.The effectiveness
of Educational applications concerning school age children can be enhanced by
the immersion that Haptics technology provides.During the proposed Haptics
applications,children are able to experience nature laws,shapes and behaviours,using
special input devices,like Gloves,Force-Feedback devices, etc.The objects that
appear visually on the screen also exist physically in a virtual way in order
to provide the impression that they can be touched and manipulated as if they
were real objects. Integrating and using the haptic metaphor in the learning
procedure, children better comprehend ideas concerning several subjects of
Science, such as the Newtonian laws, space phenomena and mechanics assembly
