In a previous post we discussed H3DAPI as a useful API for creating visuo-haptic applications. Another great API is Chai3D. I use it for most small applications I develop these days. It is a smaller framework and rely on purely imperative C++. Together with the single-file examples it makes it straight-forward to transit from getting-started…

Building a graphics & haptics application is greatly simplified with the use of an API designed specifically for taking the advantage of 3D haptics. One such API is H3DAPI, developed by SenseGraphics, a subsidy of SurgicalScience. Fun note, SenseGraphics’ headquarter is only a few kilometers from Forsslund Systems here in Stockholm county, Sweden, so you…

When I showed a sneak-preview of this site and blog for some friends they saw the picture of an antique factory and wondered if we had moved to Skansen, the famous outdoor museum of Stockholm, where it is situated. Well, of course not, but the picture illustrates well our intentions: an actual factory albeit small-scale,…
