Haptics Technology: The Story of Touch
We have created electronic devices that can engage the human senses of hearing and vision. Smell, taste and touch have been neglected for lack of technology methods to allow these devices to interact with these senses. Recently, however, the electronic world has been developing devices and methods to interface the user and the connected device so they can produce tactile feedback and kinematic feedback to the user through the sense of touch by applying forces, vibrations and motion to the users.
