Globalization, market consolidation, vertical market strategies and mergers are presenting new trends in business enterprises to adapt themselves in this phenomenon.

In present globalization scenario many business processes are needed to be completed in a less turnaround time. Integration of the elements such as virtual organizations, virtual teams, virtual reality, human centered assets and sophisticated concepts of information and communication technology can be considered as innovation driver. Business enterprises must combine facts and ideas to create new knowledge that will drive their organization in the right direction through innovation.

Adding haptic information such as vibration, tactile array, and force feedback enhances the sense of presence in virtual environments. 14 Hanqiu Sun, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Hui Chen, Chinese Academy of Sciences & The Chinese University of Hong Kong, China Virtual Reality applications strive to simulate real or imaginary scenes with which users can interact and perceive the effects of their actions in real time. Chapter 2 Soft-Touch Haptics Modeling of Dynamic Surfaces.

Chapter 3 Collision Detection: A Fundamental Technology for Virtual Prototyping. The haptic constraint modeling based on metaballs is experimented to intuitively control the interactive force distribution within the dynamically constructed constraint, making the soft-touch simulation of objects simple to manipulate with enhanced realism. For adding the haptic sensations with interactive soft objects, the authors first present multiple force-reflecting dynamics in Loop subdivision surfaces, and further the haptic freeform deformation of soft objects through mass-spring Bezier volume lattice. Soft-touch haptics modeling is the core com-Ponent in feeling and manipulating dynamic objects within the virtual environments.
