Abstract
We present a simple yet efficient calibration and registration procedure for improving the overall static display accuracy of the Visual Haptic Workbench. The procedure is used for precisely colocating the visual and haptic workspaces of the system and is divided into three stages. First, we calibrate and register the PHANToM to the display surface of the workbench. Second, we calibrate the tracking system by attaching a rigid extension between the tracker sensor and the PHANToM stylus. Third, we interactively find the remaining unknown display parameters including eye and hotspot offsets as well as a local reference frame. Initial evaluation of the approach indicates that it is possible to improve static display accuracy by at least an order of magnitude for this system.
