Abstract

This research combines the PHANToM 1.5 haptic device with a six-sided projection screen virtual environment in order to explore the benefits haptic devices bring to this type of immersive environment. The PHANToM is placed on a specially designed and constructed work stand which allows the device to be moved anywhere in the virtual environment. An algorithm has been developed which maps the size of the CAD model represented in the virtual environment, or the movement of the CAD model, to the working space of the PHANToM. Two applications are explored which illustrate using the PHANToM for different tasks: exploring a large NURBS surface and installing an aircraft rudder pedal assembly.
