By manipulating a pen-like stylus, you can interact with simulated environments by actually feeling the physical properties of your models. The mechanical hardware can produce virtual representations of rigid surfaces, springy surfaces, even liquid-feeling regions. This general purpose haptic interface is an ideal tool for exploring complex models, simulating realistic medical procedures, even doing computer aided design. This is a high performance system which is suitable for research studies and commercial applications.
