The Virtual Crepe Factory: 6DoF haptic interaction with fluids

The Virtual Crepe Factory illustrates our novel approach for 6DoF haptic interaction with fluids. It showcases a 2-handed interactive haptic scenario: a recipe consisting in using different types of fluid in order to make a special pancake also known as "crepe". The scenario guides the user through all the steps required to prepare a crepe: from the stirring and pouring of the dough to the spreading of different toppings, without forgetting the challenging flipping of the crepe. With the Virtual Crepe Factory, users can experience for the first time 6DoF haptic interactions with fluids of varying viscosity. Our novel approach is based on a Smoothed-Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) physically-based simulation.
