H3D API is a C++ implementation of an X3D-based, open source scene-graph API for the development of haptic (touch-enabled) applications. API follows closely the X3D design, and extends graphical rendering with haptic (touch) rendering. H3D API uses the C++ Standard Template Library as well as open source libraries such as Python, FreeImage, Xerces and GLEW. Haptic rendering is performed using SensAble Technologies Open Haptics SDK. Haptic rendering can be easily disabled, allowing H3D to be optionally used as an X3D compliant API. Commercial, NON-GPL licensing of H3D API is also available.
