What is haptics?

Haptics is the science and technology of transmitting and understanding information through touch. In the context of technology and devices, haptics refers to the use of tactile feedback, such as vibrations or motions, to simulate the sense of touch for users. Haptic technology is commonly used in smartphones, gaming controllers, virtual reality systems, and medical devices to enhance user experience by providing physical sensations that correspond to actions on screen. This field combines engineering, neuroscience, and design to create more immersive and intuitive interfaces.
