HAPTIC
TECHNOLOGY
i. Haptic technology is a " sensations
tough of feelings".
ii. It gives a real feeling when toughing
the vr object.
iii. 1990 scientist made a discovery.
They discover that the motor,
engine, and machinery we use vibrates and
feels real when we tough the object

For example;
iv. Phone
v. Joy stick
vi. Game controller
In order to set the mood for all of
these, the software is pre-designed
accordingly.
 USE CASES OF HAPTIC TECHNOLOGY
 AIRLINE INDUSTRY:
Polits can feel the buttons and controls during training simulations.
 MEDICAL INDUSTRY:
Medical student can feel what it is like to perform complex, delicate surgeries.
 SPACE TRAVEL:
Through an advanced haptic robot, scientists will be able to feel what rocks are like on mars.
 MILLTARY:
Haptic technology will teach soldiers how to take apart bombs in the virtual world as well as prepare for battle.
 VIEDO GAMES:
Gamers will be able to feel the weight and power of their tools in the virtual world used to play games.
 EDUCATION:
Studies have shown that children learn better when they can associate learning experiences with tough.
 RESOURCES FOR THE DISABLED:
One of many examples is touchable maps and objects for the blind.
APPLICATION OF
HAPTIC TECHNOLOGY
Automotive
With the introduction of large touchscreen control panels in
vehicle dashboards, haptic feedback technology is used
to provide confirmation of touch commands without
needing the driver to take their eyes off the
road. Additional contact surfaces, for example the
steering wheel or seat, can also provide haptic
information to the driver, for example, a warning
vibration pattern when close to other vehicles.
Art
Haptic technologies have been explored in virtual arts, such
as sound synthesis or graphic design, that make some
loose vision and animation.Haptic technology was used
to enhance existing art pieces in the Tate Sensorium
exhibit in 2015.[39] In music creation, Swedish
synthesizer manufacturer Teenage Engineering
introduced a haptic subwoofer module for their OP-Z
synthesizer allowing musicians to feel the bass
frequencies directly on their instrument .
Virtual reality
Haptics are gaining widespread acceptance as a key part of virtual reality systems, adding the sense of touch to previously visual-only interfaces Systems are being
developed to use haptic interfaces for 3D modeling and design, including systems that allow holograms to be both seen and felt. Several companies are making full-
body or torso haptic vests or haptic suits for use in immersive virtual reality to allow users to feel explosions and bullet impacts.
Puzzles
Haptic puzzles have been devised in order to investigate goal-oriented haptic exploration, search, learning and memory in complex 3D environments. The goal is to
both enable multi-fingered robots with a sense of touch, and gain more insights into human meta-learning.
Personal computers
In 2015, Apple Inc.'s MacBook and MacBook Pro started incorporating a "Tactile Touchpad" design with button functionality and haptic feedback incorporated into
the tracking surface.
Robotics
Haptic feedback is essential to perform complex tasks via telepresence. The Shadow Hand, an advanced robotic hand, has a total of 129 touch sensors embedded in
every joint and finger pad that relay information to the operator. This allows tasks such as typing to be performed from a distance. An early prototype can be
seen in NASA's collection of humanoid robots, or robonauts.
Sensory substitution
Main article: Sensory substitution
In December 2015 David Eagleman demonstrated a wearable vest that "translates" speech and other audio signals into series of vibrations, this allowed hear-
impaired people to "feel" sounds on their body, it has since been made commercially as a wristband.
Space
The use of haptic technologies may be useful in space exploration, including visits to the planet Mars, according to news reports.
 LIMITATIONS OF HAPTIC TECHNOLOGY

 High cost
 Users operate in continuous time
 Large weight and size of the haptic devices
 Haptic rending algorithm operations in discreate time
 Haptic interfaces can only exert forces with limited
magnitude.
ADVANTAGES OF HAPTIC TECHNOLOGY

I. Communcation is through tough and digital world can behave like the real world.
II. Reduction of working time as object can be captured, manipulated, modified and recalled
digitally.
III. Haptic tough technology can be applied to small and large surfaces.
IV. Medical field simulators allow world be surgeons to practice digitally, gaining confidence in
the procedure before working on breathing patients.
V. Design and test products without wasting materials
DISADVANTAGES OF HAPTIC TECHNOLOGY

I. Haptic applications can be extremely complex, requiring highly specialized hardware and considerable
processing power.
II. Haptic project are not easily portable and needs fixed installations.
III. With only a sense of tough, haptic interfaces cannot deliver warnings.
IV. Debugging issues-these are complicated since they involved real-time data analysis.
