A fish tank VR testbed has been created that uses center of workspace interaction as a unifying concept, and incorporates a SensAble Technologies Phantom 1.0 haptic input device. Fish tank VR refers to the creation of a small but high quality virtual reality that combines a number of technologies, such as head-tracking and stereo glasses, to their mutual advantage. A set of widget design principles has been developed based on the concept of haptically modeling task-related constraints. Scene navigation widgets for yaw and pitch rotation, scaling and re-centering have been created based on these guidelines. The current implementation of these widgets is described and some future ideas for application-specific widgets are outlined.
