The Haptic device we will use for the AnarkikAngel's software is like a small grounded 'robot' and provides the 'force feedback' that gives the uncanny sense of touching a virtual object. This device replaces the mouse and also provides more natural and coherent movement in 3 dimensions. This becomes a very easy way of interacting within a virtual space as it is more intuitive.

Novint Falcon is a 3D touch game controller allowing players to feel virtual objects, actions and force feedback in enabled PC games. For more information about Novint Falcon please visit their website. Remember you need to download the driver and run the setup file to install the driver before you can use the device.
