Haptics
Haptics is the study and technology of touch and tactile sensations. It involves the use of devices that can simulate the feeling of touch, allowing users to interact with digital environments in a more immersive way. This technology is commonly used in virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) applications, enhancing user experiences by providing physical feedback.
Haptic devices can range from simple vibration motors in smartphones to complex gloves that replicate the sensation of holding objects. By incorporating touch into digital interactions, haptics can improve learning, gaming, and remote communication, making these experiences more engaging and realistic.
