Magnetic Levitation Haptic Interfaces 2

[sfvermeulen]

Next generation mice along with old school CRT monitors, heh

[digivince]

So it's pretty much a giant version of the novint falcon but with maglev included huh? Looks cool.

Wait... This is great, but whats even better... I think that force feedback joypads can be use for same purpose although I've never thought about it!

[AzoreanProud]

I've work in one off those things...

It cost 3000€

I've heard of this for years, but has anyone investigated the possibility of like cancer or anything with prolonged use? Even strong magnets come with warnings not to have prolonged exposure (probably just legalese). Armanian: the levitation is from pulsed electromagnets in the bowl that pushes/stops the magnet

[aguywithaproject]

@ymi2b The levitation is due to Lorentz force resulting from passing a current through coils in a static magnetic field.

[ymi2b]

@aguywithaproject : isn't that what I said, in very basic terms? That the electromagnets (current passing through coils causing lorentz force) is pushing the magnet (static magnetic field)

I know I am not any kind of magnetic forces guru or anything.

this is soooo amazing and exciting! Ok now we're outside the box.

[Armanian]

i still didnt even get to the levitation of the device :(

he just rambled on about the software and how it feels

Do want!

[CaeruleanXII]

omg. can has?

[aguywithaproject]

@CaeruleanXII Can has: Google "butterfly haptics"

[razasharpe]

Nice! Great Work!

[kubal5003]

Great

[stradric]

Nice. When can I get one for my xbox?

[Lloen]

When Xboxes stop being crap.
