If you are into application development or research using haptics and you think you can handshake… then this information might be of interest to you!?

Researchers at Ben Gurion University are calling for the best, or most life-like, Handshake algorithm there is…

The official call will take place during the 6th BGU-CMCW in June 2010 and the winner will be announced during the following happening of the same conference in year 2011.

I you feel for handshake algorithms and would like to take on this challenge please go: here…

Almost like Christmas…

We have’ve had so many new cool gadgets to play around with here at the SenseGraphics office lately: the Tobii Eyetracker, one ForceDimension Omega.7 (gripper with force feedback), we just did some first tries out and H3DAPI implementation on an industrial camera (swedish manufacturer) and we’ve also unpacked our own Phantom Desktop from SensAble that we will have here at the office for specific application demos. But we are still waiting for one big wodden box containing a simulator that we’ve been part of developing software for… it should be here any minute now.

I have recently received lots of proofs on applications beeing developed using SenseGraphics H3DAPI. Some of these consits of videos which are going to be posted on SenseGraphics H3DAPI Youtube user channel (www.youtube.com/h3dapi). First out is Dr Felix Hamza-Lop from the Armstrong Atlantic State University with a great video that shows how haptics is used for learning physics…

Mastering an Iron ore Shiploader

johan — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 07:23:33 +0000

Mastering an iron ore shiploader could sometimes be very uncomfortable, extremely hot and dusty. Especially when you are doing it sitting in a small cabin exposed to the direct sunlight in a very warm country.

Sensegraphics H3DAPI software is currently being used in an application for “mastering” an iron ore shiploader remotely. Replacing the actual operators cabin view with a 360 degree camera (the same Google is using for taking road pictures for Google maps) the operator could now be sitting in a more comfortable room, air conditioned, safely(?) mastering the shiploader looking at a 3 meter wide doome (sphere screen).

Below is a picture on a shiploader.
