Force Dimension Omega 3 Haptic Device

The omega.3 relies on a unique kinematic design that has been optimized
for high-end force feedback. Its high mechanical stiffness, combined with
its embedded fast USB 2.0 controller, enables the rendering of crisp
contact forces. Conceived and manufactured in Switzerland, the omega.3 is
specifically designed for demanding applications where performance and
reliability are critical.

The omega.x family of haptic devices combine performance and design into one of the most accomplished and modular haptic interfaces ever built. The device can be declined in three versions that provide translational, rotational and grasping capabilities.

With fine polished kinematic links and an anodized aluminum frame, the omega.3 displays unparalleled solidity with simplicity and style. Its finely textured spherical end-effector offers a universal interface for both left- and right-handed users. This highly ergonomic and distinctive design makes the omega.3 a device of choice when performing dexterous robotic telemanipulation tasks, or for instinctively interacting with complex virtual environments that demand user-friendly interfaces with optimal usability.
