Haptics technology refers to the science and application of providing tactile feedback to users through their sense of touch. This technology allows users to feel sensations such as vibrations, forces, and motions, enhancing the interaction with digital devices and virtual environments. It plays a critical role in improving user experience in various applications, from smartphones and gaming to medical simulations and robotics. How Haptics Works Haptics technology typically employs actuators to generate vibrations or movements that users can feel. These actuators are embedded in devices and work by converting electrical signals into mechanical motions. There are two main types of haptic feedback: tactile feedback, which relates to surface sensations such as vibrations, and kinesthetic feedback, which relates to the perception of force and motion through muscles and joints. Key Applications Consumer Electronics : Haptics is most commonly found in consumer electronics, especi...
