Ann Marie Shillito from Anarkik 3D hooked the “Eightbar crowd” up with a haptic controller. Anarkik are involved with haptic input devices and have developed some really nice software which enables users to interact with virtual worlds and …

The haptics were only really being used to compensate for what would otherwise be quite tricky controls. (I must admit I like to keep my hands on the keyboard, rather than switching between input devices, to the extent that even my desktop keyboard has a trackpoint. So perhaps I’m not the fairest judge here.)

But the second demo… wow. That was something else. It completely blew away any 3D display techniques I’ve seen- instead of worrying about the 2D screen, being able to feel the space really did add another dimension.

I’d really like to see the two combined, allowing the haptic modelling to take place in a shared online space. Exciting stuff.

These included navigating a virtual world, and building 3D objects. I’ve written about it more over on eightbar, but it was so cool that I wanted to include the video over here as […]
