因特网上的商业网址虽然可提供有关产品栩栩如生的画面,但这些产品目前基本都“只能看不能摸”。美国伊默尔森公司新研制出一种可令用户“触摸”网上物品的鼠标,它将有助于克服网上购物不便之处。 英国《新科学家》报道说,借助于该鼠标,用户可“触摸”网上货物,感觉其质地。例如,当显示屏上出现网球拍图案时,用户就可体会球拍上弦网的松紧程度。另外,用户操纵鼠标还可了解灯芯绒裤子等商品的质地。 新型鼠标采用了一种被称为“力反馈”的新技术。此项技术最初由美国斯坦福大学和美国航空航天局研制成功,早先用于飞行模拟和电子游戏领域。在个人电脑上应用“力反馈”技术,需要电脑具有高速数据交换功能,这一问题以前一直没有得到很好解决。而伊默尔森公司研究人员成功地 Although the commercial web site on the Internet can provide vivid images of products, but these products are basically “can only see can not touch.” The United States Yimeiersen company has developed a new mouse so that users can “touch” online items, it will help overcome the online shopping inconveniences. The New Scientist in the UK reported that with the help of the mouse, users can “touch” online goods and feel their texture. For example, when a tennis racquet pattern appears on the display, the user can feel the tightness of the racquet winding network. In addition, the user can understand the operation of the mouse corduroy pants and other goods texture. The new mouse uses a technique called force feedback. Originally developed by Stanford University in the United States and NASA, the technology was previously used in flight simulation and video games. The problem of using “force feedback” technology on personal computers, which require computers with high-speed data exchange capabilities, has not been well addressed before.
