A haptic device for PC video game application

A haptic device is developed for PC video games. The proposed mechanism is designed to avoid a coupling problem in two-degree of freedom translational movement at the edges caused by the structural constraints using a motor whose body is rotating about a pivot according to the joystick motion. The w...

Description
Summary:A haptic device is developed for PC video games. The proposed mechanism is designed to avoid a coupling problem in two-degree of freedom translational movement at the edges caused by the structural constraints using a motor whose body is rotating about a pivot according to the joystick motion. The workspace of the proposed mechanism is analyzed. The spring and damping torque reflection capabilities are investigated. Additionally, the performance of the haptic system is examined in a real game environment constructed by using the graphic software.
