  • Abstract
    Haptic devices are getting very cheap which makes it possible to use them more broadly. However the lack of software that supports these devices is still quite high. We present a prototype of an authoring system, based on Dragon pathways, which allows users to take advantage of such devices, and build their own simulations and activities using an iconic language and mainly drag and drop techniques.
