Hapling

The Hapling is an advanced, wireless controller that allows you to feel a new dimension of haptic sensations by carefully setting the amplitude and frequency of vibrations.
The intuitive gesture recognition feature allows seamless experience throughout multiple platforms.

It combines electronics, mechanics, and powerful software, in the form of a lightweight and smart ring, tailored to your hand by an advanced size adjustment mechanism.

Correct placement and direction

The ring on your hand should look like this

Sizing

Hapling comes in 5 sizes - XS, S, M, L and XL.
These can be further tightened with the inner ring.

How to check your Hap-size?

• Measure the circumference of your right index finger, e.g. with a strip of paper.
  Be careful not to use flexible materials - the measurement will be far from correct.

• Take the measurement from the place below the bone in the middle of your finger.
  
  

• Measure the designated fragment with a ruler.

• Compare the circumference you get with the sizes below:

It is necessary for the Hapling to remain in firm contact with your skin to provide the best experience. If you find yourself in between two sizes, pick a smaller one.

Connection

For the installation and setup manual click here

Hapling requires you to connect via a Bluetooth dongle inserted into your computer.
HapxLab desktop application is required to connect the ring to the computer.
Gac You need to connect Hapling through the HapxLab app for the Unity Plugin to acquire the information from the ring.

HapticApiHandler.perfab

This prefab manages the connection to the HapxLab via websockets.

Example

This folder contains TestScene.unity scene of Unity Plugin.

Scripts:

This folder contains all hapticBehavior available in API

x86_64

This folder contains all Haptic Libraries for the haptic handle, gesture handle and connection to the HapxLab

Unity API

This is a simple API Documentation for Haptology Unity Plugin

Structure

We divide our API into 3 different modules

• HapticApiWrapper
• IHapticBehavior
• Gestures

Haptic Api Wrapper

In the HapticApiWrapper you have access to methods:

Init - this method initializes API:

public static bool InitApi();

Return true if success.

You can only init it once.

Example:

if (!HapticApiWrapper.InitApi())
{
    Debug.Log("failed to init!");
}
else
{
    Debug.Log("API init success!");
}

Close - this method closes API:

public static bool CloseApi();

Example:

void OnDestroy()
{
    HapticApiWrapper.CloseApi();
}

Dispatch - for working communication with HapxLab application:

public static void Dispatch();

This call have to be added in Update loop.

Example:

void Update()
{
    HapticApiWrapper.Dispatch();
}

Read Gestures - gives array of probability for gestures :

public static Gestures ReadGestures();

Example:

var gestures = HapticApiWrapper.ReadGestures();
Debug.Log(gestures);

Register Collider - adds ICollider from API:

public static void RegisterCollider(IHapticCollision item);

Unregister Collider - removes Collider from API:

public static void UnregisterCollider(IHapticCollision item);

IHapticBehavior

In IHapticBehavior you have access to methods:

This method start haptic feedback:

void HapticCollision();

This method stop haptic feedback:

void StopHapticCollision();

Gestures

Object represent gestures in API

struct Gestures
{
    float DoubleTap;
    float Pinch;
    float Pull;
    float Push;
    float SingleTap;
    float SwipeDown;
    float SwipeLeft;
    float SwipeRight;
    float SwipeUp;
    float TurnLeft;
    float TurnRight;
};

The gesture value is from 0 to 1

Haptic Behaviors

List of available Haptic Behaviors

• ControllerBehavior
• DemoBehavior
• EnvironmentBehavior
• FeedbackBehavior
• TextureBehavior

All of these behaviors are handled by IHapticBehavior.

We divide all haptic feedback into 2 categories:

• Signal
• Stream

Signal

These haptics last about 1 sec and you don't need to stop them.

List:

• All FeedbackBehavior
• Button from ControllerBehavior

Stream

These haptics work on ON OFF principle. You need to send StopHapticCollision to stop.

To start you need to send HapticCollision.

List:

• All EnvironmentBehavior
• ControllersBehavior except Button type
• All TextureBehavior

Test Scene

Example usage of Haptology Unity Plugin

Scene

1. Before you add any other object, you have to add HapticApiHandler.prefab to the scene

2. Then you can add HapticBehavior to an element in the scene

3. Choose Haptic Type from the drop-down list

Example of code:

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
using Haptology;
using System.Collections;
public class ButtonHandler : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Button mButton;
    public ControllersBehavior behavior;
    private bool mRunning = false;
    void Start()
    {
        mButton.onClick.AddListener(OnClick);
    }
    void OnClick()
    {
        if (!mRunning)
        {
            StartCoroutine(runBehavior());
        }

    }

    IEnumerator runBehavior()
    {
        mRunning = true;
        behavior.HapticCollision();
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(2);
        behavior.StopHapticCollision();
        mRunning = false;
    }
}

This example code shows us how to handle Stream in the system.

When you click on a button you send HapticCollision After 2 seconds you send StopHapticCollision to stop the stream.

All of this is available in ControllersScene in Example\Controller

"DISPUTE" is defined as any disagreement, cause of action, claim, controversy, or proceeding between you and any HAPTOLOGY entity related to or arising out of the SOFTWARE or this EULA. DISPUTE is to be given the broadest possible meaning that will be enforced. If a DISPUTE arises, you agree to first give notice to HAPTOLOGY by contacting HAPTOLOGY SP. Z O.O. at Zebrzydowice 228, 34-130 Zebrzydowice (POLAND) and engaging in good faith negotiations to attempt to resolve any DISPUTE for at least 30 days, except that you or HAPTOLOGY (or any of HAPTOLOGY Affiliate) may skip this informal negotiation procedure for DISPUTE enforcing, protecting, or concerning the validity of intellectual property rights.

ARBITRATION INSTRUCTIONS

To begin an arbitration, either you or HAPTOLOGY must make a written demand to the other for arbitration. The arbitration will take place before a single arbitrator. It will be administered in keeping with the Expedited Procedures of the Commercial

Arbitration Rules, and the Supplementary Proceedings for Consumer-Related disputes when applicable (“Rules”) of the Polish Chamber of Commerce (“PCC”) in effect when the claim is filed. You may get a copy of PCC’s Rules by contacting PCC. The filing fees to begin and carry out arbitration will be shared between you and HAPTOLOGY, but in no event shall your fees ever exceed the amount allowable by the special rules for Consumers DISPUTE provided for by PCC, at which point HAPTOLOGY will cover all additional administrative fees and expenses. This does not prohibit the arbitrator from giving the winning party their fees and expenses of the arbitration when appropriate pursuant to the Rules. Unless you and HAPTOLOGY agree differently, the arbitration will take place in Warsaw, Poland, and applicable laws in Poland shall govern the substance of any DISPUTE. The arbitrator’s decision will be binding and final. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the party seeking relief, and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. Any court with jurisdiction over the parties may enforce the arbitrator’s decision.

OPT-OUT INSTRUCTIONS

IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE BOUND BY THE BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION ABOVE, THEN: (1) YOU MUST NOTIFY HAPTOLOGY IN WRITING WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE DATE THAT YOU FIRST USE THE SOFTWARE OR AGREE TO THIS EULA, WHICHEVER OCCURS FIRST; (2) YOUR WRITTEN NOTIFICATION MUST BE MAILED TO HAPTOLOGY SP. Z O.O., ZEBRZYDOWICE 228, 34-130 ZEBRZYDOWICE, POLAND; AND (3) YOUR WRITTEN NOTIFICATION MUST INCLUDE: (A) YOUR NAME; (B) YOUR ADDRESS; (C) THE DATE YOU FIRST USED THE SOFTWARE OR AGREED TO THIS EULA; AND (D) A CLEAR STATEMENT THAT YOU DO NOT WISH TO RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH ANY HAPTOLOGY ENTITY THROUGH ARBITRATION.

Opting out of this dispute resolution procedure will not affect the terms and conditions of this EULA, which will still apply to you.

REJECTING CHANGES MADE TO THE DISPUTE

PROCEDURES

Despite anything to the contrary in this EULA, you may reject changes made to the binding arbitration provision if: (1) you’ve already begun authorized use of the SOFTWARE at the time the change was/is made; and (2) you mail written notice to the address in the immediately preceding paragraph within 30 days after the particular change was/is made. Should such a situation arise, you will still be bound by the DISPUTE procedures you previously agreed to and existing before the change you rejected was made.

MISCELLANEOUS

Any DISPUTE determined not subject to arbitration and not initiated in small claims the court will be litigated by either party in Kraków, POLAND. The parties agree that the judgment, decree, or order rendered by a court of last resort or a court of lower jurisdiction from which no appeal has been taken in Kraków, Poland shall be final and binding upon both parties.

EQUITABLE REMEDIES

Notwithstanding anything contained in this EULA to the contrary, you acknowledge and agree that any violation of or non-compliance with this EULA by you will cause irreparable harm to HAPTOLOGY, for which monetary damages would be inadequate, and you consent to HAPTOLOGY obtaining any injunctive or equitable relief that HAPTOLOGY deems necessary or appropriate in such circumstances.
