Interaction-Oriented System for VITAL Framework

This paper introduces a conceptual framework referred to as VITAL (Virtual Instrumentation Technology Adaptation Lab) and an interaction-oriented application created based on the VITAL framework. Virtual laboratories could be created using VITAL, where virtual reality (VR), virtual instrumentation (VI) and VR hardware are integrated in to one platform. The example application integrates PHANTOM Omni® haptic device and LabVIEW software. The results of this application highlight the validity and usability of the VITAL framework.
