hapticthat
Hapticthat is a term used in discussions of haptic technology to describe a class of systems that translate digital information into tactile feedback delivered to a user through actuated interfaces. The concept emphasizes mapping digital events to tactile sensations in a way that conveys material properties, textures, or forces without relying on visual cues.
Typical implementations rely on actuators such as vibrotactile motors, linear actuators, pneumatic or hydraulic actuators, and
Applications include virtual reality, medical simulation, teleoperation, and assistive devices for the visually impaired. In accessibility
In research, hapticthat is discussed as part of creating meaningful tactile metaphors for data rather than
