Abstract
A method for controlling spatialized force feedback on one or more haptic devices includes establishing, via a communication interface, communication with the one or more haptic devices, instantiating one or more virtual haptic sources, each virtual haptic source having a virtual position in a virtual environment and configured to emit a haptic signal characterized by a set of haptic parameters, and for each of the one or more haptic devices, instantiating a virtual haptic receiver having a virtual position in the virtual environment and translation logic. The virtual haptic receiver may be configured to receive, from each of one or more virtual haptic sources, the haptic signal for the virtual haptic source, translate the received haptic signal into a haptic device instruction based on the translation logic, and send, via the communication interface, the haptic device instruction to the haptic device.
