Haptic Delivery System
HDS Amplifier

The haptic delivery system provides tactile feedback during virtual reality experiments. The system includes:

  • audio amplifier that connects to a computer sound card

  • actuators & isolators that vibrate based on the sound from the sound card

  • interface cables
    • HDS100 amplifier to an existing sound card
    • HDS100 amplifier to actuators
    • signal to HDS100 amplifier and speakers

Actuators are placed under chair legs or on a platform and deliver vibrations based on the VR environment (e.g. movement of elevators). Install in fewer than 15 minutes with no modifications to furniture or flooring required.

The system is compatible with SuperLab, E-Prime, Vizard VR Toolkit, and other presentation systems that interface your computer's sound card.

Haptic feedback is increasingly being used as a substitute and/or augmentation for audio or visual cues. For one example, see Kahol K., French, J., et al. (2006). Evaluating the Role of Visio-Haptic Feedback in Multimodal Interfaces through EEG Analysis. Augmented Cognition: Past, Present and Future. D. Schmorrow, K. Stanney and L. Reeves. Arlington, VA, Strategic Analysis, Inc.: 289-296.
