Softness is an important property of haptic perceiving. Such feeling leads a living-things experience and friendly expression. Haptic interactions are suitable to represent softness. Our research focuses on creating a haptic interaction system for better performing of multi-soft-object interaction environment. The idea is to use the fast deformation method Oriented Particle to simulate deformable object. This method decreases the computation cost and enables multiple objects real-time simulation. Our contribution is an applicable haptic proxy implementation on deformable meshes goven by Oriented Particle. The resulting system extended the way to simulate real-time multi-soft-object interaction with haptics, thus to enhance the expressiveness of softness haptic representation.
