Product details
Overview
Selected package: Core Kit. Supplies the listed components for your integration team. Choose Commissioned System to add the services listed below.
What it does: Feel simulated contact, resistance and torque through the Desktop 6D's six-axis force-feedback handle. Use the included API to connect the device to your engineering, simulation or research application.
Designed for: For developers adding physical interaction to virtual assembly, engineering research or a custom simulation. The manufacturer demo provides a device starting point; your finished application is a separate scope.
What's included — Core Kit
- 1 × Haption Desktop 6D: Renders force and torque from a connected simulation and captures operator inputs. Six active feedback axes with its own analog finger pinch, handle button and separate three-button box.
- 1 × manufacturer controller/power set: Controls and powers the haptic device. Standard external controller and power accessories for the quoted Desktop 6D configuration.
- 1 × included Virtuose API license: Provides the software interface for integrating device motion, forces and controls into an application. Device API included with Desktop 6D; supported versions and deployment rights confirmed on quote.
- Manufacturer demo and driver resources: Helps developers connect and check the device with the manufacturer software. Provided software resources; installation and validation are part of Commissioned System.
Commissioned System adds
- Review the Windows/Linux workstation, dedicated Ethernet interface, application requirements and mounting/power arrangement.
- Install the manufacturer device API, drivers and demonstration application on the agreed PC.
- Validate six-axis device feedback, finger-pinch signal and operator buttons using the agreed demo/test.
- Provide setup/configuration notes, operator orientation and a scoped C++/ROS 2 developer handover; custom application code is a separate deliverable.
You provide or request separately: Windows/Linux PC, display, dedicated Ethernet/Cat6, mounting surface and mains power.
Quotation: Configuration quote required. Commissioning, optional PC, custom application work, freight and taxes are quoted separately.

Questions and configuration
What is the difference between Core Kit and Commissioned System?
Core Kit supplies Desktop 6D, its standard controller/power/control accessories and included API resources for your integration team. Commissioned System adds the scoped API/demo installation, device test, documentation and handover.
Is a workstation included?
No. Supply a suitable Windows/Linux PC, dedicated Ethernet interface and Cat6 cable, or request a separately priced workstation. The PC price is not included in the known hardware subtotal.
Do I need another API, TREX license or ERGO handle?
The Desktop 6D device API is included. TREX robot licensing and an extra site SDK are not automatic additions. ERGO is a TAO/TAO HF accessory and does not fit Desktop 6D.
Is my simulation application included?
The manufacturer demo is different from a completed customer application. Custom simulation content, engine integration and application code require a separate scope and quote.
Does it work directly with Isaac Sim, Unity or Unreal?
Haption lists native C/C++, ROS/ROS 2 and CHAI3D routes; partner integration is available for Unity/Unreal. A ready-made Isaac Sim or customer application integration is not assumed and must be scoped and tested.
Is this a medical training or clinical system?
No specific medical curriculum, clinical validation or regulatory approval is included. Any medical use requires an appropriate application-specific scope.
Can commissioning be remote?
Remote or onsite delivery is agreed in the quotation. Onsite travel, site preparation and continuing support are separate unless itemized.
What is confirmed before order?
Application requirements, API rights, accessories, PC suitability, lead time, freight, import treatment and commissioning acceptance scope.
