Abstract

In this paper, we present our work to extend a well known 3D graphic modeler - Blender - to support haptic modeling and rendering. The extension tool is named HAMLAT (haptic application markup language authoring tool). We describe the modifications and additions to the Blender source code which have been used to create HAMLAT. Furthermore, we present and discuss the design decisions used when developing HAMLAT, and also an implementation "road map" which describes the changes to the Blender source code. Finally, we conclude with discussion of our future development and research avenues.

A Device Independent Haptic Player

The HAML-based haptic player system is device independent, allowing users to play back haptic stimuli regardless of the device used during data recording.

Haptic Applications Meta-Language

The HAML framework aims to create plug-and-play environments for virtual reality, allowing users to easily integrate various haptic devices into their virtual reality experiences.

CHAI: An Open-Source Library for the Rapid Development of Haptic Scenes

The CHAI libraries enable rapid development of multimodal virtual worlds, supporting various haptic devices and allowing for customizable and extensible research.
