About GHOST SDK
The GHOST SDK (General Haptic Open Software Toolkit) is a powerful, C++ software developer's tool kit that greatly eases the task of developing 3D Touch applications. GHOST SDK works as the "physics engine" which takes care of complex computations and allows developers to deal with simple, high-level objects and physical properties like location, mass, friction and stiffness. Developers can use GHOST libraries of 3D prismatic objects, polygonal objects, and touch effects to add a convincingly physical dimension to 3D applications like CAD, animation and visualization. At the same time, the GHOST SDK's flexible, extensible architecture makes it a powerful platform for haptics researchers and other developers who need to add new shapes and dynamics as well as implement lower-level, direct force effects.
