What is Haptics
2 way interaction with virtual objects, where action and
perception is linked to a physical act
Interaction with models in 3D space, allowing hand and eye to
work together on the model
Physical devices can be linked to virtual models to allow direct
manipulation and gesture interfaces enable more naturalistic
interaction
Haptic devicesPractical considerations
The PHANTOMTM stylus made by
Geomagic is a haptic feedback device
which provides single point, 3D force-
feedback to the user via a stylus (Omni)
or thimble
Immersion 3D Interaction produce a products
based around CyberGlove®, a tethered,
instrumented glove that can sense the
position and movement of the fingers and
wrist.
Omni chosen because of cost, robustness in a
public setting, replaceable elements and 6
axis of movement

Haptic interactive prototype for the visually impaired
Create a digital experience that
allows the blind and visually
impaired visitor to access a
group of museum objects, that
would either be too fragile to
touch or would remain
inaccessible by virtue of being
situated within a museum case
Developing a prototype
Objects selected by Henshaws:themes, fragility and form
User interface issues
Introduction to the rooms
The experience of interacting with 3d object, wall
for containment, contrast and colour
Location of the artefact in space
Introduction to the models – understand the
experience of deciphering the form point of
contact
Describe the objects before the experience
Navigation buttons- how to move from one room
to another
Sound to enhance the understanding of
construction and material

Next steps and International content
Improve durability of unit and handle
Make content more interactive and
improve audible instructions (verbosity)
Add subtitles
Improving fidelity. Magnetic outlines to
improve understanding of forms
Hotspots on 3d files for multimedia
content
Increase number of objects from MM
Managing expectations
Creating a portal for global collections
on an accessible platform
