Hardware Requirements

The Adaptics Designer is a web application that requires a compatible browser¹ and a haptic device to provide real-time feedback. Hardware haptic playback is through the Adaptics Engine, which is compatible with Ultraleap² devices such as the Ultraleap STRATOS Explore Development Kit.

Hosting Locally

The Adaptics Designer is a static web application that can be hosted on any web server (such as with GitHub Pages). To host it locally, clone this repository and then run

npm install
npm start

To enable real-time haptic feedback, you will also need to download and run the Adaptics Engine. Please refer to the Adaptics Engine repository for more information.
