    The PHANTOM® Omni™ Developer Kit

    The PHANTOM® Omni™ Developer Kit enables developers to integrate haptics with existing third-party applications and new applications. The PHANTOM Omni Developer Kit is priced at $3,900.00/kit - U.S. Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Prices vary outside the U.S. based on value-added services and support, importation, duties, taxes, etc. The initial release of the HDAPI developer kit is for Windows®. Support for Linux® and other operating systems is planned for later in 2004

    The PHANTOM Omni Developer Kit includes:

    • The PHANTOM Omni haptic device—the most cost-effective haptic device available. Portable design, compact footprint, and IEEE-1394 FireWire® port interface ensure quick installation and ease-of-use. The PHANTOM Omni device comes with a licensed PHANTOM device driver.
    • Haptic Device API (HDAPI) software and perpetual software license - The HDAPI is the foundation layer of the SensAble 3D Touch™ SDK and enables haptic programmers to render forces directly, offers control over configuring the runtime behavior of the drivers, and provides convenient utility features and debugging aids.
    • Annual hardware maintenance for the PHANTOM Omni device (1 year)
    • Basic Developer HDAPI software support and updates (1 year) includes:
      - Source code examples
      - Access to the SensAble online Developer Support Center and forum
