haptisiin
Haptisiin is a hypothetical class of responsive materials proposed for haptic technology. It would function as a programmable interface that can modulate tactile feedback by altering its mechanical or surface properties in response to electrical or magnetic stimuli, enabling real-time texture and force rendering in touch-enabled devices.
In an envisioned form, haptisiin would integrate a flexible substrate with embedded actuating elements and microstructured
Potential applications include VR and AR gloves, teleoperation in robotics, medical simulators, and tactile displays for
The term haptisiin represents a conceptual direction rather than an established material. It has appeared in
