Features

The delta.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.

> modularity
the delta device base can accommodate various interchangeable end-effectors to adapt to the most demanding applications.

> quality
the delta family of devices 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 delta haptic devices offer unequaled closed loop stiffness, allowing for crisper realism.

> comfort
all delta devices cause 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 delta.3 comes with the Force Dimension SDK, which provides a simple, flexible and powerful way of developing haptic applications.
