Abstract

A system for providing substantially stable haptics includes at least one computer configured to identify a first subset and a second subset of haptic interaction geometric primitives for a virtual tool. The computer is configured to determine based on the first subset, haptic forces in a first subspace. The computer is also configured to determine based on the second subset, haptic forces in a second subspace different from the first subspace.
