Abstract

Haptic Environments for K-16 (HaptEK16) is a multimodal haptic simulator designed to assist students in understanding difficult concepts related to hydraulics. The simulator includes three different components: pressure measurements, hydraulic machines simulation, and hydraulic car lifting. Multimodal interfaces combining 3D graphics and haptics have the potential to advance understanding of concepts and phenomena as well as promote new methods for teaching and training. This project explores such interfaces, called haptic interfaces that include a 3D representation of a hydraulic system designed to simulate various forces and pressures.
