Meta_HapticDevice
A HapticDevice represents a connection to a device such as a Phantom Omni. Only one instance is required in a scene.
The buttons on the device trigger KeyPress and KeyRelease Meta_EventHandler nodes that can be added as children of this node.
The three buttons on the device dispatch __KeyCode values of 1100, 1101, and 1102.
Public Types
Property index.
| Idx_Enabled | bool - Enables haptics using the connected Omni device |
| Idx_Position | vec3w - Contains the current position of the haptic cursor in world space |
| Idx_Rotation | vec3w - Contains the current rotation of the haptic cursor in world space |
| Idx_Velocity | vec3w - Contains the current velocity of the haptic cursor |
| Idx_GeometryGrabRadius | float - Radius to grab geometry around the haptic cursor scaled to workspace size. Performance intensive; Can be reduced for scenes containing complex meshes at the expense of potential missed hits. |
| Idx_LinkedAssembly | link - Link to an assembly providing the visual representation of the haptic cursor |
| Idx_WorkspaceTranslation | vec3w - Translation of the haptic workspace relative according to the value of Idx_HapticSpaceMode |
| Idx_WorkspaceRotationOffset | vec3w - Rotation offset of the haptic workspace that can be used to account for alignment of physical device installation |
| Idx_WorkspaceSize | float - The spherical workspace diameter |
| Idx_HapticSpaceMode | SpaceMode - How to position the haptic space (using the WorkspaceTranslation). |
| Idx_DrawHapticWorkspace | bool - Draws a visual representation of the workspace showing the approximate range of movement of the device |
| Idx_TouchableFace | TouchableFace - Specifies which faces of shapes will be touchable |
Values for Idx_HapticSpaceMode.
| FixedSpace | Fixed world space. Camera may move freely as the haptic world is not connected to the camera. |
| FixedCameraAlignedSpace | Fixed world space but aligned to camera orientation. Camera must be stationary for haptics to be enabled. |
| CameraAttachedSpace | Attached to camera. Camera must be stationary for haptics to be enabled. |
Values for Idx_TouchableFace.
| FrontFace | Haptic collisions use front faces of geometry. |
| BackFace | Haptic collisions use back faces of geometry. |
| FrontAndBackFace | Haptic collisions use both faces of geometry. |
