    • This is one huge PostScript file for the whole dissertation (about 200 pages).
  • Haptic Issues for Virtal Manipulation -- EVERYTHING (about 13 Megabytes).

    • The file is so large because there are a lot of figures (some 70 in all).


    These are links to PostScript files for the individual chapters.
