HaptiCast: A Physically-Based 3D Game with Haptic Feedback
نویسندگان
چکیده
Modern haptic technology allows users to receive realistic kinesthetic and tactile cues in a computer generated environment. When applied to video games, it gives players a higher sense of immersion as well as new and interesting ways to interact with the game environment. In this paper, we present a game which acts as an experimental framework for assessing haptic effects in 3D games. In HaptiCast, players assume the role of a wizard with an arsenal of haptically-enabled wands which they may use to interact with the game world. We discuss the integration of haptic feedback in this first-person shooter style video game that uses a “vanilla” 3D game engine. The haptic rendering algorithms and effects used in our approach are presented, along with some non-haptic features which enhance this modality.

The Design and Evaluation of a Computer Game for the Blind in the GRAB Haptic Audio Virtual Environment
This paper describes the development and evaluation of a computer game for blind and visually impaired people using a new haptic audio virtual environment (HAVE). The GRAB HAVE consists of a new two-finger haptic interface and Haptic Geometric Modeller which enables people to locate and interact with 3D computer-generated objects using their sense of touch and audio feedback. A simple 3D search...
متن کاملVirtual Hair Handle: A Model for Haptic Hairstyling
The process of styling virtual hair is a tedious task for 3D artists, who would significantly profit from more natural and intuitive ways of creating virtual hairstyles such as, for example, the possibility to simply comb virtual hair using a haptic device. However, despite significant advances in hair simulation during the last decades, physically based haptic interaction with hair is still an...
متن کاملDeveloping and Evaluating a Non-Visual Memory Game
This paper describes the development of a non-visual memory game based on the classic game ̳SimonTM‘, where users are presented with a sequence of stimuli, which they need to replicate in the same order to progress to the next level. Information is presented using a combination of speech, nonspeech audio and/or haptic cues, designed to aid blind users who are often excluded from mainstream gami...
متن کاملDial-Based Game Interface with Multi-modal Feedback
This paper introduces a dial-based haptic interface for a brickout game. Conventionally brickout games are played through a mouse or a keyboard. However, these input devices cannot provide sufficient intuitive interface to move the game paddle or provide multi-modal feedback for the user. We developed a haptic game device that gives the user haptic feedback during the game as well as visual and...
متن کاملSprings and Constraints for 3D Drawing
In this paper we present examples of haptic sculpting mediated by a physical model or constraint. Most current work in haptic drawing and sculpting focuses on interacting with a static model and properly simulating contact forces. Our work proposes dynamic models for the creative process. These are based on physical models, but present physically impossible scenarios which allow new forms of ex...
