Your computer must meet these standards to run the application:
Follow these steps to set up the software on your machine:
If Windows shows a security pop-up, click More Info and then select Run Anyway. This message appears because the application is new and Windows does not recognize the publisher yet.
The application organizes robotic sliding contact data into a visual interface. Use the menu at the top of the window to filter data by sensor type. You can view audio waveforms, touch pressure maps, and visual recordings side-by-side.
If the software fails to open, restart your computer and try again. Ensure you have the latest drivers for your graphics card installed. If the program crashes during data loading, check that you have enough space on your hard drive.
Sometimes, antivirus software blocks the application. Check your security settings to ensure VisTouch is on the list of allowed programs. If you continue to face problems, delete the application and perform a fresh download from the link provided above.
VisTouch provides a complete look at how robots interact with surfaces. The dataset includes high-speed video, pressure readings from sensors, and sound files captured during contact. Researchers use this information to teach robots how to grasp objects without dropping them. The interface allows you to zoom into individual frames of video to see how the surface changes under pressure. This level of detail helps users see the difference between soft and hard textures during a sliding movement.
Does the software collect my personal data? No. The application runs locally on your machine. It does not send your data to any servers.
Can I run this on a Mac? The current version is only compatible with Windows.
How do I update the application? Visit the download link periodically. If a new version exists, install it over the old one. The installer will replace the old files automatically.
Does this require a high-end graphics card? No. Standard integrated graphics chips handle the visual display without issues.
Can I modify the dataset? You can load your own files into the software if they follow the standard CSV format described in the help menu.
The project team adds new features every few months. Upcoming updates will include support for multiple sensor inputs and improved search filters for finding specific contact types. Check the repository link regularly to see if a newer version is ready for your system.
