What is it about?
The simulation of tactile sensation using haptic devices is increasingly investigated in conjunction with simulation and training. In this paper we explore the most popular haptic frameworks and APIs. We provide a comprehensive review and comparison of their features and capabilities, from the perspective of the need to develop a haptic simulator for medical training purposes. In order to compare the studied frameworks and APIs, we identified and applied a set of 11 criteria and we obtained a classification of platforms, from the perspective of our project. According to this classification, we used the best platform to develop a visuo-haptic prototype for liver diagnostics.

Why is it important?
New methods for HCI using Haptics. We provide a survey on API for haptics programming.
Perspectives
Near future human computer interfaces will involve haptic and other interaction modalities.
