| Abstract |
FORCE FEEDBACK SYSTEM INCLUDING MULTI-TASKING GRAPHICAL HOST ENVIRONMENT AND INTERFACE DEVICE
force feedback system provides components for use in a
force feedback system including a host computer and a force
feedback interface device. An architecture for a host computer
allows multi-tasking application programs to interface
with the force feedback device without conflicts. One
embodiment of a force feedback device provides both relative
position reporting and absolute position reporting to allow
great flexibility. A different device embodiment provides
relative position reporting device allowing maximum compatibility
with existing software. Information such as ballistic
parameters and screen size sent from the host to the force
feedback device allow accurate mouse positions and cursor
positions to be determined in the force feedback environment.
Force feedback effects and structures are further described,
such as events and enclosures. |
