Haptics, is the technology of adding the sensation of touch and feeling
to computers.
A haptic device gives people a sense of touch with computer-generated
environments, so that when virtual objects are touched, they seem real
and tangible.
Understanding and enabling a compelling experience of Presence not
limited to "being there", but extended to "being in touch" with remote
or virtual surroundings
Haptics is implemented through different type of interactions with a
haptic device communicating with the computer. These interactions can
be categorized into the different types of touch sensations a user can receive:
In order to complete the imitation of the real world one should be able to interact with the environment and get a feedback.
User should be able to touch the virtual object and feel a response from it.
This feedback is called Haptic Feedback.
The next important step towards realistically simulated environments
that have been envisioned by science fiction authors and futurists
alike.
Large potential for applications in critical fields as well as for
leisurely pleasures.
Haptic devices must be miniaturized so that they are lighter, simpler
and easier to use.
