#X text 24 153 Apply forces to automatically center the controller
;

#X text 24 233 Apply friction to the movement of the controller. Also
known as damping.;
#X text 25 280 Periodic effects are forces controlled by waveforms
of various shape \, strength \, and frequency;

#X text 19 37 "Haptic" means relating to the sense of touch. Haptic
feedback relates to the sense of touch at the skin level \, and the
feeling of forces in the muscles and joints. Vibrations stimulate the
sense of touch while various forces stimulate the muscles.;
#X text 19 106 There are many haptic devices available \, from a US\$35
Logitech iFeel mouse \, to the massive \, extremely expensive haptic
devices used for remote control surgery. Immersion \, Inc. has almost
a monopoly on this technology due to a number of patents. These objects
all work with Immersion technology \, generally known as "TouchSense".
;
#X text 19 188 Numerous companies produce haptic game controllers:
mice \, joysticks \, gamepads \, steering wheels. These objects work
with game controllers. Belkin \, Logitech \, Microsoft \, Saitek \,
and others make TouchSense game controllers.;
#X text 19 245 Currently \, these objects only work on GNU/Linux. For
info on how to get it working \, see: http://at.or.at/hans/haptics
