Mar 29, 2021Team Anxious, Project Iteration 2Code here: https://github.com/sriGanna/teamAnxious/tree/main/Iteration2 As a quick recap, for our first iteration, we decided to explore the interaction space with the Haply, figuring out all the different haptic interactions that users could have with the device and interface. …Haptics10 min readHaptics10 min read
Mar 12, 2021CanHaptics Lab 3: Communicating something with HaplyCreate a small vocabulary of communicative movements with three “words” The communication should be physical-only, no audio or graphical feedback. Use one sketch (i.e. physical model / environment / piece of code) to communicate all three terms For this last lab, I paired up with Kattie, and we came up…Ubc Computer Science9 min readUbc Computer Science9 min read

To start off, as I was in COVID-19 quarantine when the Haplys were delivered, I received a pre-assembled Haply so that I wouldn’t face any difficulties while assembling it…Haptics5 min readHaptics5 min read
Jan 29, 2021CanHaptics Lab 1: No-Tech PuppeteeringTask: Create three hardware sketches that move 1 mm, 10 mm, and 100 mm. No-tech materials only. The first lab for the course involved creating haptic sketches using DIY materials only and to try and use indirect human actuation for the same. As someone new to the field, my goal…Haptics7 min readHaptics7 min read
