Haptic Editor

Haptic Editor is an interactive editing system for creating haptic-enabled 3D content by drawing shapes in air and copying and pasting surface textures. To realize realistic haptic interaction, we construct the data structure of haptic content composed of kinesthetic layers and a tactile layer. The user can create touchable 3D models by drawing geometries through aerial sketching, setting values of compliance and friction of the geometries, and copying and pasting vibrotactile textures of real objects by using the proposed easy-to-use haptic interface.
