Abstract
A design interface tool for designing force sensations for use with a host computer and force feedback interface device. A force feedback device is connected to a host computer that displays the interface tool. The user selects a type of force sensation and designs and defines physical characteristics of the selected force sensation using the interface tool. A graphical representation of the characterized force sensation is displayed, which provides a visual demonstration of a feel of the characterized force sensation. The force sensation is output to a user manipulatable object of a force feedback device to be felt by the user, where the graphical representation is updated in conjunction with the output of the force sensation. The user can also associate a sound with the force sensation, such that the sound is output in conjunction with the output of the force sensation. The user can iteratively modify force sensation characteristics and feel the results, as well as synchronize force sensations with sounds.
