HaptX® (www.haptx.com) provides
the ability to feel computer generated objects on screen through
specialized hardware such as the Novint Falcon. HaptX is a haptic software engine,
which embeds Reachin Technologies' 5th generation haptic technology. Originally
developed to meet the needs of next-gen game engines, the HaptX engine is easily
integrated in any game or 3D application. HaptX provides developers with a haptic
toolbox, which can be used to create amazing 3D force effects. HaptX contains
libraries of ready-to-use effects which can be customized to fit any game.
When using a Touch Controller such as the Novint Falcon in combination with an
application which is powered by HaptX, the user can experience the following stunning effects:
HaptX SurfaceModels™
HaptX can simulate solid surfaces. The user can actually feel both hard and soft objects,
including surface properties like friction and texture. Within a game, the player can
feel the texture of a hard and rough stone wall, or the smooth, soft and silky feel of a
fine fabric at per pixel resolution.
HaptX ForceModels™
Fully animatable force effects like explosions, magnetic fields, gun recoils.
HaptX NavigationModels™
Control the camera within a game or 3D application with one of the ready-to-use NavigationModels.
HaptX InteractionModels™
HaptX can be used in combination with any commercial quality physics engine to create
amazing interaction. In an application powered by HaptX, the user can interact with any object
just like in the real world. Push, pull, lift, throw, and explore any object!
HaptX Mouse Driver™
The HaptX Mouse Driver technology allows developers to create applications where the Touch
Controller can be used not only as a haptics device, but also as a regular PC Mouse. This is
key for applications which mix the use of 2D user interfaces with 3D viewports, like 3D
modelling applications.
