tactileindicating
Tactileindicating is the practice of conveying information, states, or instructions through tactile cues alone or in combination with other modalities. It relies on touch, using elements such as vibrations, textures, shapes, pressure, or temperature to signal the user without requiring visual or auditory input. The concept sits within the broader field of haptic feedback and tactile graphics and is often applied to assistive technologies as well as everyday devices and environments.
Common tactileindicating modalities include device vibrations that confirm an action or alert a user, raised textures
Applications span consumer electronics, automotive and industrial interfaces, medical devices, educational tools, and public infrastructure such
Research on tactileindicating intersects with accessibility standards and human–computer interaction. Practitioners emphasize user testing across diverse
