Abstract

See full text

An active handrest system (10, 10a) with haptic guidance comprises a haptic interface device (12) operable to be manipulated by a user's fingers (14). The haptic interface device is operatively connected to a movement sensing mechanism (16) capable of sensing motion of the haptic interface device in three dimensions. An active handrest (18) is operatively associated with the haptic interface device, the active handrest including an actuated support platform (20) actuated in at least one degree of freedom. The active handrest is configured to support a hand, wrist, and/or arm of a user and is moveably responsive to motions of the haptic interface device detected by the movement sensing mechanism.
