Comparing Two Grounded Force-Feedback Haptic Devices

Haptifyinuse

Even when they are not powered, grounded force-feedback haptic devices apply forces on the user's hand. These undesired forces stem from gravity, friction, and other nonidealities, and they still exist when the device renders a virtual environment. This demo invites users to compare how the 3D Systems Touch and Touch X devices render the same haptic content. Participants will try both devices in free space and touch a stiff frictionless virtual surface. After reflecting on the differences between the two devices, each person will receive a booklet showing the quantitative performance criteria we measured for both devices using Haptify, our benchmarking system.
