H3DAPI 2.2.0 is out today! Since its introduction to the public in 2005, H3DAPI has been used by the graphics and haptics community to create or add the simulation of touch to their applications. Built on the industry standards OpenGL and X3D, H3DAPI enables rapid haptics application development using X3D and Python alone. More major […]

The workshop Physics -Based Medical Simulation with Haptic Rendering using SOFA and H3D has been conducted by INRIA and SenseGraphics at  Find the slides and a binary demo in the download section and check sofa-framework.org for more material from the workshop as well.

Due to an increase in demand for SenseGraphics products and services in the Medical simulation field, the company is now looking forward to expanding its team with highly skilled C++ software developers. SenseGraphics the company behind H3DAPI. Learn more about this job offer at SenseGraphics web page!

To make life easier for those H3D users that want to build H3D on a Windows 64-bit system it is finally possible to download the External libraries directory from the downloads section. Go here to find the download.

In H3DViewer X3D scenes with or without H3D content can be loaded and modified at run time through the tree view. It is also possible for H3DViewer to load plugins which contains custom made H3D nodes. With this distribution a couple of plugins are included to handle graphics and haptics volume rendering, haptic user interface […]

HAPI comes with these capabilities: – Haptics device independence. Supports a wide range of haptics devices such as devices from SensAble, ForceDimension, Novint and Moog FCS Robotics. – Haptics primitives: Free space haptic effects. Haptics shapes including sphere and triangles. Surface/contact handling. – Haptics rendering algorithms. Choose between different haptics rendering algorithms in order to […]

The UI package is a collection of haptic user interface nodes that allows the user to create haptic buttons, slider bars etc. This can be useful when creating an haptic application in which the user interface should respond to haptic interaction as well as mouse interaction. Grab UI from the downloads section. For more information […]

Grab RigidBodyPhysics from the downloads section. RigidBodyPhysics is an implementation of the Rigid body physics component of the X3D specification. It includes nodes for creating scenes in which geometries acts like rigid bodies. That is objects which are solid, unchangeable sets of mass with velocity. This is a bug fix release to address issues with […]
