hd in Vizard3.0

[farshizzo]

Hi,

Vizard 3.0 uses OpenHaptics 2.0 by default. If you want to use an earlier version of OpenHaptics then simply add the following line of code before you import the hd module:

viz.setOption('hd.version',1)
import hd #Will use OpenHaptics 1.0

Thanks. Another question about the HD - if I have invisible objects and I touch them with the haptic pen will the haptic pen list them in it's touch objects?

Hi,

When you set a node invisible, it will still by touchable in the haptic environment. You can make it invisible to the haptic environment by using the <node3d>.enablehd() command.

Thanks. What does the version 1 lack that version 2 has? Where can I obtain version 2 if I need it?

The hd module is identical for both version 1 and 2. The OpenHaptics 2.0 runtime is not binary compatible with 1.0, so we need to compile a separate plugin for each version. You can purchase OpenHaptics 2.0 from SensAble.
