%p.question What work have I done in the haptic field?
%p
The Instrumentation for Measurement Laboratory at

is equipped with a

= external_link_to 'haptic device', 'http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haptic_technology'
We started by modelling the device, SensAble's Phantom Premium 1.5,
in a 3D environment using Blender. We recorded a

of the skeleton movement working.
%p
Afterwards, we mapped the real device
movement into the virtual device previously created. We also binded a few
computer keys in order to control the device through the keyboard. This allowed
us to understand the device API.
%p
Finally, we made a small sample game, in which the player had to pop balloons
that appeared from the bottom of the screen and floated up. The player would
feel force feedback whenever the cursor came in contact with each balloon.
%p.question Who was involved?
%p
I've worked with my colleague,

under the supervision of Professors

and

%p.question Any publications?
%p
We published a small article regarding this study, entitled
%cite "Human-Machine Real-Virtual Haptic Interaction Systems"
which was published at the Virtual University 9th International Conference,
Bratislava, December 2008.
