Title: Force Feedback II: The binding problem

Abstract: Force feedback is a very good method for enhancing user experience in game environments, and is likely to be useful in other types of interface. The effectiveness of force feedback depends on how well the `binding problem' is solved; the implementation of force feedback depends on separating time scales. This talk describes the binding problem, which is the foundation of a new technology, the force buffer.
