HAPTICS

TECHNOLOGY
 What is haptic ?
Is the technology of adding the sensations of touch and feelings.

When virtual objects are touched , they seems real and tangible.
 HAPTIC TECHNOLOGY
The word haptic, from the Greek (haptikos), means
"tactile, pertaining to the sense of touch". Simple
haptic devices are common in the form of
game controllers, joysticks, and steering wheels.
WHO INVENTED
HAPTIC
TECHNOLOGY?
Michael Noll at
Bell Telephone
Laboratories, Inc.
in the early 1970s
and a patent was
issued for his
invention in 1975.
 HAPTIC TECHNOLOGY
- is technology that can create an experience of touch by applying
forces, vibrations, or motions to the user. These technologies can
be used to create virtual objects in a computer simulation, to
control virtual objects, and to enhance remote control of machines
and devices.

HAPTIC
TECHNOLOGY
- ALSO KNOWN FOR
KINAESTHETIC
COMMUNICATION OR 3D
TOUCH
Haptic technology is
the use of tactile
sensations to
stimulate the sense
of touch in a user
experience.
Types
Haptic systems provide two types of haptic feedback: kinesthetic feedback, simulating
the weight or pressure of an object, or tactile feedback, which simulates texture.

PURPOSE
By using a device's sensors, an app can add a sensory experience that brings something
new to the table. That's what haptic feedback is all about – implementing a new layer
that plays with your sense of touch whenever you interact with it. Android devices
already have the haptic capabilities built-in.
Importance
It is a form of nonverbal communication and the way by which
people communicate via touching. Touch, or the haptic sense, is
extremely important for humans, as well as providing
information about surfaces and textures. Haptics is a
component in interpersonal relationships and vital in conveying
physical intimacy.
EXAMPLE OF HAPTIC TECHNOLOGY
DESKTOP HAPTICS
are mechanical devices that mediate communication between the user and the computer.

SURFACE HAPTICS
Is the creation of programmable haptic effects on physical surfaces such as touch screens.

WEARABLE HAPTICS
Is a geared toward gaming , but it can also be used for other types of entertainment, such as listening
to music. Some even use haptic sensations as a way to boost mental and emotional well-being.
