Phantom: Haptic Devices

The Geomagic haptic devices measure 6DOF positions and orientations, and can exert forces on the user's hand (some models exert 3DOF forces, others 6DOF).

Supported models: Geomagic Touch is tested. Any model/configuration allowed by the OpenHaptics library (for Linux http://www.geomagic.com/en/products/open-haptics/specifications-2/specifications-2-21/ ) is expected to work.

Dependencies:

  • Device drivers
  • OpenHaptics http://www.geomagic.com/en/products/open-haptics/overview/
    • An environment variable named 3DTOUCH_BASE or OH_SDK_BASE must be set to the directory containing (include\)HD\hd.h
    • The location of the hd.lib file must be added to your path, e.g., C:\Program Files (x86)\SensAble\3DTouch\lib\win32
