Development of HapticWorkBench Supporting Various Types of Haptic Devices

Abstract

This paper describes the HapticWorkBench, which can support haptic feedback device. There are various types of haptic devices which have various shapes and functions. Most of immersive displays are rear projection type display and can not be used with some types of haptic devices because those devices hide the images projected on the screen. We developed an immersive display called HapticWorkBench which can be used by both front projection and rear projection freely.Therefore,it can be used with various types of haptic devices. The callibration method and the influence of the tracking error are also discussed.
