Boeing VPS 1: Collision Detection
"The Voxmap Point-Shell (VPS) system from Boeing is a collision detection library that is optimized for use with haptic interfaces. VPS allows the haptic device to manipulate and move arbitrarily shaped objects through a scene. This is particularly useful assembly path planning and maintenance path planning for manufacturing and design. This is where an assembly must be tested to see if replacement parts can be fit through the assembly.

Haptic Block Tower
Haptic Block Tower is an example of the use of haptics in games. In this video, the Haptic Block Tower game is shown. The user can use a PHANTOM device to pick up blocks and then stack them on top of the tower. Haptic Block Tower incorporates a physics engine, so the haptic device may be used to feel the inertia and placement of blocks. |

Haptic Sound
HapticSound is an application developed collaboratively between the University of Massachusetts at Lowell and SensAble Technologies. HapticSound allows a user to haptically explore a music track. The user may modify the sound by haptically moving a cursor around track. The music from HapticSound also responds to changes in force exerted by the user. |

Industrial Virtual Reality ImmersiveTouch™
ImmersiveTouch is the first system that integrates a haptic device with a head and hand tracking system and a high resolution high pixel-density stereoscopic display. Its ergonomic design provides a comfortable working volume in the space of a standard desktop. The haptic device is collocated with the high resolution 3D graphics, giving the user a more realistic and natural means to manipulate and modify 3D data in real time. Force feedback takes virtual reality beyond the visual to the tactile domain; from a limited interaction to a hands-on workbench for training and simulation.
