Six-degree-of-freedom haptic rendering (6-DoF) can greatly benefit many applications involving dexterous manipulation and complex maneuvering of virtual objects. However, techniques for 6-DoF haptic rendering based on exact collision detection are applicable only to relatively simple contact configurations or low-complexity models. We propose a novel approach for 6-DoF haptic rendering that combines multiresolution representations, hierarchical collision detection algorithms, and perception-based force models. This approach enables stable and responsive 6-DoF haptic rendering of the interaction between polygonal models of high combinatorial complexity.
