Using a SensAble Haptic Interface...



I finally managed to download the included short videos of me using a Sensable Phantom haptic interface, which was used in the making of the Finger Run tablets and the Snakeskin tactile interface... The device and the accompanying software allow one to 'feel', and thus control & design, things on the screen through the sense of touch... The video above was filmed a few years back, at our old floating office on the HMS President 1918, docked by to the Blackfriars bridge by the Thames Embankment (opposite the Oxo Tower) in London... The video below shows a screen-shot of how this voxel based software, which allows one to design and manipulate the 'digital-clay' on the screen... Both the above mentioned designs were eventually fabricated through various both subtractive and additive CAM processes...
