Abstract	Designers are known to use a blend of manual and virtual processes to produce design prototype solutions. However often virtual processes can limit the designers feeling of being ‘hands-on’ with materials and processes. The rise of virtual haptic tools have afforded great potential for designers to feel more ‘hands-on’ with the virtual modelling processes. This paper presents an investigation of an inclusive educational haptic tool and interface. The Geomagic TouchTM device was selected to operate a haptic rendered interface. The interface was designed to facilitate a prototype design process for non-sighted visually impaired (NS-VI) and fully sighted (FS) distance learners from The Open University. The parameters examined were ‘time’ taken to assemble a four block prototype, and collisions (error) caused by participant between block shapes during the prototype assembly. Both time and collision results by NSVI/FS in two haptic modes, showed insignificant difference in data for either group. Furthermore the time taken to complete the task was never over the accepted industry standard, of 5 minutes, to assemble a prototype within the germinal stages of the design process. This means that haptics have aided both participant groups to achieve the industry ‘norm’, with no known difficulty.
