This final report is an overview for Final Year Project titled "Development of sensory-mode interaction in haptic system". A haptic device enables interaction between human and computer, which also give response due to the force applied by the user movements. The aim of this project is to design and develop a simple haptic device to analyze on the concept of sensory-mode interaction by using strain gauge sensor. Current application of haptic technology has been widely used in robotics, teleoperators, simulators, and video game controller. However, most of the application of existing haptic device are expensive, sophisticated, and require high level of technology. Therefore, due to the complexity of the system, a simple haptic device is designed after analyzing literature review on the related work. The device also will enable user to obtain the tactile feedback when exerting force to the interface. In order to perform the virtual measurement, a Graphical User Interface (GUI) is developed using Lab View software. The hardware device will interact directly with the computer via communication board. Hence, whenever the user applies force on the device, the force value will transfer to the computer for further conversion and calculation. User can acquire data and the output value generated will be displayed on the screen of computer. The overall summary about this project is to produce a simple haptic device using the stain gauge sensor, and the amount force exerted by user can be measured and monitor via the Lab View Software.
