Yes it is! Or rather, its my spinn-off company that does it. We
released the code and a new project site in Saturday. Have a
look at http://dev.forsslundsystems.se or launchpad.net/forssim
I put some general instructions of how to compile h3d and medx3d in
ubuntu if it can be useful. I saw in later list post that you got h3d
to work which is great.

That is cool. Our courses with haptics today are mainly targeting
multimodal applications.

Thats great
