Abstract
We discuss design principles for a handheld haptic
device, scenarios for their use, and our implementation of
a portable handheld haptic device following these
principles. Handheld devices offer unique challenges and
opportunities for haptics: they are compact, simple and
consequently low cost, while promising comfort, low
fatigue, and affordances for many useful tasks such as
controlling digital media. We also describe the
implementation of a semi-portable handheld force
feedback display consisting of single actuated degree of
freedom, orthogonal force sensing, and a USB controller
for ease of connectivity to a variety of hosts.
