The previous researches on augmented reality have been mainly focused on augmentation of visual or acoustlc information. However, the human could get information not only through vision and acoustics, but also through haptics. The haptic sensation is very intuitive hence some researchers are focus on using haptic sensation in an augmeted reality system. In these researchs, the haptic sensation is generated based on static data such as generated from CAD, CT, etc. However, these systems are hard to respond to changing real environment in a real time. In this paper, we propose a new concept for the augmented reality of haptics, the SmartTool. The SmartTool could respond to the real environment by using real time sensors and a haptic display. The sensors on the SmartTool measure the real envrironment then send us that information through our haptic sensation. Furthermore, we will describe about the prototype system we have developed.
