The omega.3 haptic device is a cost-effective desktop solution that combines state-of-the-art haptic technology with a compact design. The omega.3 offers an unmatched combination of performance and modularity, making it the ideal device for a wide range of applications.
Features
The omega.3 haptic device features some unique characteristic that make it the interface of choice for the most advanced single point-of-contact touch-enabled applications.
> quality
the omega.3 is designed for superior performance - no plastic components are used for any critical mechanical component of the device for unrivaled reliability and haptic quality.
> accuracy
a dedicated sensor provides one-time, drift-free calibration.
> stiffness
due to their unique patented parallel kinematics structure, the omega.3 haptic device offers unequaled closed loop stiffness, allowing for crisper realism.
> comfort
the omega.3 causes minimal user fatigue, thanks to active gravity compensation.
> safety
an onboard CPU monitors velocity in real time and enables electromagnetic damping on the haptic device if a problem occurs on the host computer.
> ease-of-use
the omega.3 comes with the Force Dimension SDK, which provides a simple, flexible and powerful way of developing haptic applications.
