has everyone managed to look into using haptic feedback for paraview VR simulations? I would like to see if it was possible at all and what site research is needed to implement it into simulations\>

Hi @DIO

This was considered in the context of [XRInterface (Virtual Reality) Plugin: Menu Redesign](https://discourse.paraview.org/t/xrinterface-virtual-reality-plugin-menu-redesign/11601) but left as out of scope for now.

It should not be too hard to do has openxr has everything needed, but careful VR UI/UX design ideas needs to be considered.

Many people may be interested if you look into it:

The [CAVEIntegration plugin](https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/-/tree/master/Plugins/CAVEInteraction?ref_type=heads) may offer a fairly quick path forward for integrating haptics. It can use [VRPN](https://vrpn.github.io/) for interfacing with input devices. Right now that is mostly one-way from device to the plugin to ParaView, but it might not be that hard to add support for going the other direction.
