Virtual reality is an emerging technology that in recent years has become more present in everyday life of the people due to cost reduction of the hardware and the increased quality of the simulation. The goal of this technology is the creation of a synthetic environment that is as realistic as possible and could be used both for the entertainment domain and for the industrial domains, like for example aerospace and automotive, in order to perform, eg., training in a safe environment. Considering the importance of providing users with realistic physical stimuli and the current limitations of technology, the objective of this thesis work was to compare two different systems that are able to provide haptic sensations.
