Interfaces

  • Space mouse
  • Haptic exoskeleton forearm
  • 3D displays

Advanced projects

  • Software components
  • System simulators

Physics and analysis

Kinematics, dynamics, physics engines to simulate gravity, friction etc. Common analytical tools: FEA, CFD, thermal etc.

Other

Another important area are truly open standards for associated file formats, and file converters to extract data from models created with proprietary CAD packages.
