Abstract

Nowadays, providing a uniform development environment for haptic applications is considered as one of the critical issues in haptic technologies. Thus, to date, we have developed a component-based haptic authoring framework using a component capability extension mechanisms supported by Unity3D. Our aim is to develop a newly revised haptic component to extend our previous framework. The proposed component enables a user to design haptic interface such as haptic navigation, as well as to help simulate/investigate the effect of the haptic interaction. In this paper, we present a prototype system and its capabilities.
