VirtualHand SDK

The VirtualHand SDK is a complete development solution for adding hand-motion capture, hand-interaction, and force feedback to simulation applications.

It simplifies simulation for developers in mechanical CAD, R&D, or 3D e-commerce allowing them to "hand-enable" their applications. The SDK consist of three main components:

• Device Manager: A multiplatform (W2K, NT, IRIX, and WinXP) network-aware device driver system for CyberGlove, CyberTouch, CyberGrasp, and CyberForce systems, as well as the Polhemus Fastrak and Ascension Flock of Birds six degrees of freedom (DOF) trackers.

• Device Configuration Utility: A user friendly Windows-like interface to calibrate and configure your gloves, touches, grasps, and six-DOF trackers. The DCU allows you to save configurations and configure default settings.

• VirtualHand API: A fully featured C++ development library including support for collision detection, hand interaction management, and force feedback.
