sensations on your Haptic
device or your TouchSense device, consult the iFeelPixel troubleshooting section for assistance. Most effects will only play once per detection
but some are designed to repeat.
Computer Accessibility Category (2017 CES Innovation Award)
For people with upper body disabilities, the simple use of a computer keyboard, a mouse, not to mention the joy of playing a video game, can be a challenge, if not a total impossibility.
3dRudder brings an innovative solution to them, by offering a new way to use their feet instead of their hands to control movement, browse the web, use Microsoft Windows-based applications, or play PC keyboard video games, thus bridging a previously insurmountable gap thanks to a new and affordable technology device. Combine 3dRudder Dasboard software with haptic hardware, and you now have full control of your computer through feet and hands.
Comfort guidelines
Whether you're working on your computer all day or surfing the web
all night,
pressure on your wrists adds up. Over time this can cause pain in
your wrist or arms.
WARNING—Repetitive Motion Injuries & Eyestrain
Playing PC games can make your muscles, joints, skin or eyes hurt. Follow these instructions to avoid problems such as tendonitis,
carpal tunnel syndrome, skin or irritation or eyestrain:
- Avoid excessive play. Parents should monitor their children for appropriate play.
- Take a 10-15 minute break every hour, even if you don’t think you need it.
- If your hands, wrists, arms or eyes become tired or sore while playing or if you feel symptoms such as tingling, numbness, burning
or stiffness, stop and rest for several hours before playing again.
- If you continue to have any of the above symptoms or other discomfort during or after play, stop playing and see a doctor.
WARNING—Force Feedback
The Falcon is capable of applying force to users and objects within the Falcon’s range of motion. Before supplying power to the
Falcon, be sure that there are no obstructions within the range of motion of the Falcon. Always interact with the Falcon so that you
can accommodate forces and motion, even unexpected forces and motion, safely. Do not keep any part of your body other than
your hand near the Falcon’s movement space.
Do not hesitate to lower the strength of force. For more information,

Note: our organisation has no responsibility about the RSI (Repetitive Strain Injuries)
or Carpal Tunnel disease. If you feel a tingling sensation in hand or carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms. Please take a break right now! We want preserve your health.
Nobody is immune to RSI, a vibrating device must be used properly. Take care!
RSIGuard is an integrated approach to preventing and managing repetitive strain injury (RSI).
EyeDefender is a rest reminder designed to prevent computer vision syndrome (CVS) resulting from working on a computer for hours. EyeDefender can also help you prevent other problems related to computer use, which require a computer user to take short breaks. These problems include carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) or occupational overuse syndrome (OOS).
During the day, computer screens look good—they're designed to look like the sun. But, at 9PM, 10PM, or 3AM, you probably shouldn't be looking at the sun.
f.lux fixes this: it makes the color of your computer's display adapt to the time of day, warm at night and like sunlight during the day.
It's even possible that you're staying up too late because of your computer. You could use f.lux because it makes you sleep better, or you could just use it just because it makes your computer look better.
f.lux makes your computer screen look like the room you're in, all the time. When the sun sets, it makes your computer look like your indoor lights. In the morning, it makes things look like sunlight again.
Tell f.lux what kind of lighting you have, and where you live. Then forget about it. f.lux will do the rest, automatically.
Rehabilitation
based on proprioceptive
One interesting point regarding training also applies to another
potential use, rehabilitation. A haptic
device isn't passive; it can take a users' fingers, hands, or
limbs and move them. For training, this means that someone could
be taught to play the piano by having their fingers moved for them.
This could even be done at a distance, although the amount of bandwidth
required might make that difficult. For rehabilitation, this means
that a machine could do physical therapy.
Proprioceptive:
general sensory information about the body. Source: Virtual Touch
Medical Applications The sense of touch is crucial for medical training. Many diagnostic, surgical and interventional procedures require that physicians train and utilize their sense of touch, which made effective medical training utilizing computers infeasible, until now. Novint’s technology and medical products add this missing component to computer-based training and simulation.
