===== Project Description =====

This project is an attempt to find ways to integrate force-feedback haptics into audio and multi-media systems.  A physical simulation of a virtual environment has been constructed which can be manipulated by a force feedback device.  The simulation is initialized via [[http://opensoundcontrol.org/cnmat|OpenSoundControl]] from programs such as [[https://www.puredata.org/|PureData]], [[http://www.cycling74.com|Max/MSP]], or [[http://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/|Chuck]].  Subsequently, each object can send back messages relating their properties or events such as collisions between objects.  This data can then be used to control some form of sound synthesis.
