CHAI3D - The Open Source Haptic Framework
-----------------------------------------
Introduction
============
First launched in 2003 at the Robotics and Artificial Intelligence
Laboratory at Stanford University, CHAI3D is a powerful cross-platform
C++ simulation framework with over 100+ industries and research
institutions developing CHAI3D based applications all around the world
in segments such as automotive, aerospace, medical, entertainment and
industrial robotics.
Designed as a platform agnostic framework for computer haptics,
visualization and interactive real-time simulation, CHAI3D is an open
source framework that supports a variety of commercially-available
three-, six- and seven-degree-of-freedom haptic devices, and makes it
simple to support new custom force feedback devices.
CHAI3D's modular capabilities allows for the creation of highly-performing
native haptic applications as well as for hybrid development where you
can choose which components provide the best haptic and visual user
experience.
