The Haptic Application Markup Language
Framework
Abstract: The field of Haptic Research faces a persistent problem; namely portability of virtual environments and their compatibility with the different haptic devices. Currently, there is no direct way of being able to manipulate a virtual environment with a multitude of haptic devices without having to modify the environment to suit the hardware.
Enter HAML. What is the Haptic Application Markup Language? How will this research topic create a nearly plug-and-play environment for haptic researchers, where the user can use different devices to manipulate and interact with the same virtual environment.
