HAPPIE- Haptic Authoring Pipeline for the Production of Immersive Experiences

“触觉是我们与周围世界的物理联系。触觉技术为数字世界重塑了我们的触觉。触觉在创意产业中主要应用于计算机游戏反馈和其他利基行业领域（手术培训，飞行模拟器）的振动。随着沉浸式体验中触摸的必要性变得清晰，人们对触觉的兴趣正在上升。“快乐”（**H**aptic **A**uthoring **P**ipeline for **P** production of **I**mmersive **E** experiences）将使触觉内容能够更快、更有效地创建，并提供软件基础设施，以实现平稳、可靠的内容分发。HAPPIE将解决3个障碍，以使触觉技术能够/加速进入英国多1.研发独立于设备的触觉中间件，为非专业人士提供面向未来的设计和购买决策。2.研发独立于设备的触觉创作工具，基于（1）实现新的工作类别“触觉艺术家”.3.在AR/VR/XR中使用上述（1）和（2）研究和开发多种示例性触觉演示。为开发提供信息，验证（1）和（2）的结果，并激发英国创意产业对触觉技术更广泛潜力的认识。"

"The sense of touch is our physical connection to the world around us. Haptic technology recreates our sense of touch for the digital world. Haptics in the creative industries has primarily been applied as vibration in computer game feedback and in other niche industry areas (surgical training, flight simulators). As the necessity for touch in immersive experiences becomes clear, interest in haptics is rising.""HAPPIE"" (**H**aptic **A**uthoring **P**ipeline for the **P**roduction of **I**mmersive **E**xperiences) will enable haptic content to be created faster and more efficiently and provide the software infrastructure to allow smooth and reliable content distribution.HAPPIE will address 3 barriers to enable/accelerate haptics uptake into UK multi-£Bn creative industries.1.Research and development of device independent haptics middleware enabling futureproof design and purchasing decisions for non-experts.2.Research and development of device independent haptics authoring tools built on (1) to enable a new category of job ""Haptic artist"".3.Research and development of a diverse selection of exemplar haptic demonstrations using (1) and (2) above in AR/VR/XR. To inform development and validate the outcome of (1) and (2) and to inspire the UK creative industries as to haptics' wider potential."
