Abstract | Research work that has been performed in the area of haptics have surely produced some remarkable results; there is a good variety of haptic devices that possess the potential to offer users a rich experience in a virtual reality setting. However, users always face difficulties in operating in such environments. Without doubt the need of users having to 'adjust to' operating haptic devices is an inconvenience. Nevertheless the lack of a uniform controlling mechanism able to use fully the abilities of haptic devices according to each user's personal attributes and needs is the main hurdle that must be overtaken. To bring about such architecture is an inspiring adventure that presents some challenges, but in turn, is immensely rewarding. The architecture that we are proposing is a layer based approach to overcome the lack of a uniform controlling mechanism that makes full use of the functionalities of haptic devices according to each user's personal needs. This framework is integrated with a behavioral data container, which defines the personalized information of the users. The latter is our context-aware, or intelligent component that dictates what device to use and how, according to the user's data that has already been collected and analyzed. This intelligent component takes the decisions and directs the user to the appropriate environment. With the relevant software and hardware, it is possible to offer to the user optimum experience of a haptic-induced virtual world. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
