touchusing
Touchusing is a term used to describe interaction techniques and interfaces that rely primarily on the sense of touch to access information, manipulate digital content, or control devices. In human–computer interaction, touchusing encompasses tactile interfaces, haptic feedback, and tactile rendering that enable users to perceive and act without primarily relying on vision or speech.
Core modalities include vibrotactile actuators that generate skin sensations, pin-based tactile displays that render spatial patterns,
Design considerations for touchusing include accessibility, learnability, and comfort, as well as safety and long-term ergonomics.
Applications span assistive technology for people with visual impairments, tactile displays in smartphones and wearables, haptic
Challenges include limited spatial resolution and dynamic range of tactile displays, user fatigue, privacy concerns around
