Abstract

A method and apparatus for commanding and designing force sensations for use with a force feedback interface device (14). A force feedback interface device (14) is connected to a host computer (12) that implements a graphical environment. The host (12) sends commands and command parameters to the interface device (14) to initiate and characterize force sensations output on a user manipulatable object (34), such as a joystick. The interface device includes a local microprocessor (26) for implementing force sensations by controlling actuators (30) and reading sensors (28) according to the host commands. Host commands are included for initiating and characterizing condition forces, such as walls, effect (wave) forces, such as periodic waves, and dynamic force sensations. A graphical design interface tool displays graphical representations of force sensations and allows intuitive and flexible design and modification of the force sensations.
