Haptic Devices

Hello everyone,

I hope each and everyone of you are enjoying your time thus far. For the past couple of weeks, I have been working on two haptic devices. The 1st was the Phantom Omni; which I tried to test but did not work out as planned. The Phantom Omni is a haptic devices makes it possible for users to touch and manipulate virtual objects. Due to some technical difficulty, I could not use it as I wanted to. Though we are still using the 2nd haptic device. The 2nd haptic device is the Phantom Premium 1.5 which provides a range of motion approximating lower arm movement pivoting at the elbow. Those in industry believe this haptic device to be better than the Phantom Omni.

The Premium 1.5 device includes a passive stylus and thimble gimbal and provides 3 degrees of freedom positional sensing and 3 degrees of freedom force feedback. Since it has been connected, I mainly just played with it using the graphic excavator and loading and unloading sand. While the Phantom Omni provides six degree-of-freedom positional sensing, Portable design and compact footprint for workplace flexibility, Comfortable molded-rubber stylus with textured paint for long term use and secure grip, removable stylus for end-user customization and two integrated momentary switches on the stylus for ease-of-use, and end-user customization.

Until next time, Stay Up!!!!
