Abstract
In this paper, a haptic system for realizing the work by both hands in a virtual environment was proposed. It is desired that the simulation of work by both of hands can be realized in a virtual environment as if we were in real space. Visual and Haptic sense are indispensable to simulate a work in a virtual environment.A haptic device, which can provide haptic sense to the thumb, the index finger and the middle finger of the operator's both hands, was developed to perform cooperative works of both hands. As for the visual information, the operator's hand is modeled exactly and displayed on the screen. By these functions, the operator can perform exactly the simulation of the work.
