[Adrillforce-devel] Release 0.0.2

[Jonas F. <jo...@fo...>]

Dear list,
we have come to a new release of forssim, 0.0.2, a version where you
actually can do some foot drilling (yes, foot is the sample volume
file included).

I have also added a binary windows build of the release that should
run out of the box. You need to have OpenHaptics 2.0 installed to run
it with a phantom device.

Please reply with any feedback. Did you feel anything? Vibrations?
Hard to compile and run? Other devices work?

Currently we have a performance issue in gnu/linux that practically
limits the drill sphere radius to 2 mm with the sample volume. The
strange thing is that it runs well in windows with much larger drill.
The haptic algorithm is non-optimized and we use a few "slower" calls
for getPixel(), but the problem might not be there. Suggestions?

The following two weeks we will focus on documentation, testing and
code cleanup, as well as work some on segmentation and drill playback.
We will also be using launchpad.net/forssim more, trying out their
issue tracker etc. You are very welcome to join the development effort
in "Forssim Open Team"

Best regards
Jonas Forsslund
