Abstract
This chapter deals with different interface technologies that can be used to connect task-specific haptic systems to an IT system. Based on an analysis of the relevant bandwidth for haptic interaction depending on the intended application and an introduction to several concepts to reduce the bandwidth for these applications (local haptic models, event-based haptics, movement extrapolation, etc.), several standard interfaces are evaluated for use in haptic systems.

Notes
- 1.
As a rule of thumb: with Linux or DOS systems, a direct communication using the serial interface is lot simpler when compared to Windows operating systems.
