In this paper we present the concept of "What You Feel Is What I Do (WYFIWID)". The concept is fundamentally based on a haptic guide that allows an expert to control the hand of a remot trainee. When haptic guide is active then all movements of the expert's hand (via input device) in the 3D space are haptically reproduced by the trainee's hand via a force feedback device. We use haptic guide to control the trainee's hand for writing alphabets and drawing geometrical forms. Twenty subjects participated in the experiments to evaluate.
