Project Goal: To visualize data using the Haply and vibrotactile devices and help answer questions such as “which type of feedback is more suitable for a specific type of visualization?” and “what are some of the ways in which haptics can complement the visualization experience?” Iteration 1 Approach: Given the circumstances with three out of four of us having different hardware, we took a more experimental based approach: we shared code for developing graphs, tested out various encoding mechanisms using the tactile devices, reported on what we felt, shared our experiences, and then decided on how to go about the next iteration. The first step was to develop simple, common visualizations on which we could compare our haptic experiences. A quick search on Google led me to find a visualization API for Processing developed by an academic team at the City University London. As you can see, this gives us a wide variety of visualizations to test out work on: Of course, this is muc...
