Abstract:
We describe key affordances required by tools for developing
haptic behaviors. Haptic icon design involves the envisioning,
expression and iterative modification of haptic behavior
representations. These behaviors are then rendered on a haptic
device. For example, a sinusoidal force vs. position
representation rendered on a haptic knob would produce the
feeling of detents. Our contribution is twofold. We introduce a
custom haptic icon prototyper that includes novel interaction
features, and we then use the lessons learnt from its development
plus our experiences with a variety of haptic devices to present
and argue high-level design choices for such prototyping tools in
general.
