VIRTUAL TOUCH
　　Haption was founded in 2001 as the research arm of the French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) to study the application of six-degree-of-freedom/force feedback devices in virtual manufacturing, and provides the interactive man-machine solution for the DASSUALT V5 series software. It now has branches/sales offices all over the world.

For real-time human-computer interaction and force feedback simulation applications of Dassault V5 product line, Haption offers a professional solution:

Software products:RTI for Delmia V5

Hardware products:Virtuose 6D35-45

Real-Time Interaction for Human(RTI)
　　RTI for Human is a software extension module provided by Haption for the DASSUALT series software. Through the RTI module, the researcher can interact with the character model in the virtual environment in real time and perform the virtual task simulation, to help researchers do the following:

　　◇ Assembly reachability/feasibility test;

　　◇ Assembly Path Planning Analysis;

　　◇ Ergonomics Analysis;

　　◇ Worktable simulation;

　　◇ Perform other manual operation;

The application of RTI makes it possible to record the movements of the human body directly in the program by Optical Motion Capture System, which reduces a lot of development time, and more relevant to the actual character’s behavior pattern. The recorded interactive action information can be used directly in Delmia V5 for further ergonomics analysis.

Real-time human-computer interaction simulation
◇ Simulation Setup

　　◆ Various Mannequins can be selected from the Delmia repository;

　　◆ Independent joint can be activated or closed;

　　◆ Definable tools and moving parts;

　　◆ It can automatically load 3d data into interactive physical simulation environment

◇ Operation Equipment Management

　　◆ Compatible Optical Tracking System for real-time Motion Capture; currently supported A.R.T.TM 、VICON TM anf MAC;

　　◆ Support  the 6D mouse of 3Dconnexion;

　　◆ Support the Inca series force feedback equipment and system of Haption。

◇Simulation process management

　　◆ Start, stop, pause, or restart operations can be set;

　　◆ Controls can be mounted or unloaded on a 3D model;

　　◆ Motion capture devices can be calibrated automatically; a mouse click can match or unbind a virtual mannequin

◇ Real-time physical simulation

　　◆ The range of action of the operator can be adjusted to conform to the virtual human model

　　◆ Integrating the motion elements of the virtual human model, including the Boundary Constraint of the joints;

　　◆ Looking up the interference information of the contact node and simulating the human action such as stopping/sliding/twisting of the contact position;

　　◆Real-time update character view and 3D display window;

◇Capture and record of simulation process

　　◆ The pose information of the virtual human model including joint curvature can be recorded in real time

　　◆ The recorded human model information can be created as Delmia human-machine task for subsequent data reconstruction and Statistical Analysis;

Real-time kinematic mechanism constraint
　　Based on the Advanced Constraint Analysis Algorithm, RTI Human avoids the dynamic errors and inefficiency which may occur in the process of real-time Human action in the traditional reverse dynamic analysis, and makes the Human action more realistic and accurate.

Real-time track record analysis

RTI Human can record all kinds of Human action/posture information in real time, and play back, edit, analyze and reuse it.

Virtual reality applications
　　RTI HumanCan Be combined with head mounted 2d/3d display(HMD)、IMMERSIVE three-dimensional display system(Such us：CADWALLTM、CAVETM)And so on stereoscopic display environment use, brings the unique immersion type virtual reality experience to the user.

Haption Force feedback device Virtuose 6D35-45
　The HAPTION forced feedback system Virtuose 6D35-45 is a high-end device that controls computer 3d objects in a tactile manner. It is a hinged robotic arm powered by electronics, motors and position trackers. Users can grasp the end of the arm to move the actual arm and the computer-generated 3-d object at the same time. Any time the user’s hand can feel contact with a virtual three-dimensional object, according to the size of the force to simulate the real sense of touch.

　　Virtuose 6D35-45 is a force feedback system with 6 degrees of freedom. It is specially designed for virtual reality work environment.

　　Because of its large working space and high bearing capacity, it can be used for interactive simulation with CAD model.
