Knowra Haptic technology Haptic technology Haptic technology creates tactile or force sensations through controlled mechanical stimulation. It lets devices convey touch, texture, vibration, or resistance to a person.
Vibrotactile feedback : Touch feedback produced by vibrations applied to the skin. A common haptic effect uses vibration to signal events or simulate contact.
Haptic interface : A device or system that exchanges information with a user through touch and force. It is the hardware-and-software form through which haptic technology is experienced.
Haptic perception : The perception of objects and events through touch, including skin sensations and movement. Haptic devices target the perceptual system that interprets their stimulation.
Visual feedback : Information returned through sight about an action, object, or system state. It can show contact or motion, but does not itself provide tactile or force sensations.
Force feedback : Haptic output that applies controlled forces to oppose or guide movement. It creates the sensation of resistance when a user manipulates a virtual object.
Teleoperation : Remote control of a machine by a human operator, often with feedback from the machine. Force cues can convey contact and resistance during remote manipulation.
Mechanoreceptor : A sensory receptor that responds to mechanical deformation such as pressure, stretch, or vibration. Skin mechanoreceptors convert device motion into neural signals.
Auditory feedback : Information returned through sound about an action, object, or system state. Sound can signal an event, while haptic output can make contact physically perceptible.
Electrotactile stimulation : A technique that stimulates sensory nerves with electrical currents applied through the skin. It can produce touch sensations without moving mechanical parts.
Virtual reality : A computer-generated environment that users experience as an interactive, spatial world. Haptics adds touch to otherwise visual and auditory virtual scenes.
