In this demonstration we illustrate how haptic communication can occur via a mobile application. In particular, we present an Android-based platform that allows connectivity among haptic devices and smartphones. Our app was designed specifically for educational applications, and we used the Hapkit as our first exemplary hardware platform. Our open-source implementation offers several haptic emulations designed for K-12 Physics courses; furthermore, our Android application provides instrumented metrics capable of analyzing latency and other network parameters among communicating hardware and software processes.

Abstract

In this demonstration we illustrate how haptic communication can occur via a mobile application. In particular, we present an Android-based platform that allows connectivity among haptic devices and smartphones. Our app was designed specifically for educational applications, and we used the Hapkit as our first exemplary hardware platform. Our open-source implementation offers several haptic emulations designed for K-12 Physics courses; furthermore, our Android application provides instrumented metrics capable of analyzing latency and other network parameters among communicating hardware and software processes.
