Abstract
We describe key affordances required by tools for developing
haptic behaviors. Haptic icon design involves the envisioning,
expression and iterative modification of haptic behavior
representations. These behaviors are then rendered on a haptic
device. For example, a sinusoidal force vs. position
representation rendered on a haptic knob would produce the
feeling of detents. Our contribution is twofold. We introduce a
custom haptic icon prototyper that includes novel interaction
features, and we then use the lessons learnt from its development
plus our experiences with a variety of haptic devices to present
and argue high-level design choices for such prototyping tools in
general.
