Abstract:
Integrating force feedback with a complete real-time virtual
environment system presents problems which are more difficult than
those encountered in building simpler force-feedback systems. In
particular, lengthly computations for graphics or simulation require a
decoupling of the haptic servo loop from the main application loop if
high-quality forces are to be produced. We present some approaches to
these problems and describe our force-feedback software library which
implements these techniques and provides other benefits including
haptic-textured surfaces, device independence, distributed operation
and easy enhancement.
