3-DOF vs. 6-DOF — Playful evaluation of complex haptic interactions

We present a haptic workspace that allows high fidelity two-handed multi-user interactions in scenarios containing a large number of dynamically simulated rigid objects and a polygon count that is only limited by the capabilities of the graphics card. Based in this workspace we present a novel multiplayer game that supports qualitative as well as quantitative evaluation of different haptic devices in demanding haptic interaction tasks.
