Two-handed CyberForce® system for virtual prototyping

The Haptic Workstation is the culmination of more than 10 years of research and development synergistically brought together in a single 3D-interaction product. The system includes right-hand and left-hand CyberForce whole-hand force-feedback systems mounted behind the user on vertically adjustable columns. This permits both seated and standing configurations. The CyberForce systems apply ground-referenced forces to each of the fingers and hands.

As shown in the image of a "Digital Seating Buck" application, the Haptic Workstation optionally comes with:

• An electrically adjustable car seat
• A head-mounted display (HMD)
• Immersion's hand-interaction software that loads CATIA V5 models

The Haptic Workstation has been designed with an unobstructed forward view, allowing a CAVE™ environment to be optionally used in place of the HMD. Designed as the ultimate virtual prototyping tool, the Haptic Workstation eliminates expensive physical prototype iterations by providing real-time two-handed evaluation of the ergonomics, assemble-ability, and maintenance of your CAD design.
