Using the Phantom Premium
Device
This chapter will introduce you to working with the Phantom Premium haptic device and
the physical limits of the device’s range of motion. It is important to understand these
physical limitations so that you do not inadvertently damage the device by forcing it past
its designed limits.
Working in 3D Space
We have become so accustomed to using a mouse to move around a computer monitor
that we don’t think twice as we move our hand around a desk to move the cursor on the
computer screen. But there was a time not long ago when this seemingly simple task was
not second nature; some even found it challenging and were often frustrated as they
learned. If you are new to working in 3D digital space and haptics, working with the
Phantom Premium device may take a little getting used to. Understanding where objects
are in 3D space may take some practice before you are able to move and manipulate
objects with ease and certainty. Be patient with yourself.
Use Caution when Using the Phantom Premium Device
It is important to exercise care when working with force feedback devices:
• Read the manual thoroughly prior to using your Phantom Premium
• DO NOT place your fingers inside the mechanism. At the installation site, access to
motors and pulleys should be prevented.
• DO NOT put your face in the workspace of the Phantom Premium. Safety glasses are
recommended.
• As a user of this product and software, you accept full responsibility for assuring that
the device is used in a safe and responsible manner.
