Haptic perception (Greek: haptόs "palpable", haptikόs "suitable for touch") means literally the ability "to grasp something", and is also known as stereognosis. Perception in this case is achieved through the active exploration of surfaces and objects by a moving subject, as opposed to passive contact by a static subject during tactile perception. [1]
Haptic puzzles have been devised in order to investigate goal-oriented haptic exploration, search, learning and memory in complex 3D environments. [ 88 ] [ 89 ] The goal is to both enable multi-fingered robots with a sense of touch, and gain more insights into human meta-learning.
Haptic memory is the form of sensory memory specific to touch stimuli. Haptic memory is used regularly when assessing the necessary forces for gripping and interacting with familiar objects. [ 1 ] It may also influence one's interactions with novel objects of an apparently similar size and density.
In addition to the interplay of haptic communication and nonverbal communication, haptic cues as primers have been looked at as a means of decreasing reaction time for identifying a visual stimulus. [20] Subjects were placed in a chair fitted with a back which provided haptic cues indicating where the stimulus would appear on a screen.
The environment acts as an external stimulus, and tactile perception is the act of passively exploring the world to simply sense it. To make sense of the stimuli, an organism will undergo active exploration, or haptic perception, by moving their hands or other areas with environment-skin contact. [16]
The process of recognizing objects through touch is known as haptic perception. It involves a combination of somatosensory perception of patterns on the skin surface (e.g., edges, curvature, and texture) and proprioception of hand position and conformation. People can rapidly and accurately identify three-dimensional objects by touch. [22]
Haptic communication, the means by which people and other animals communicate via touching; Haptic perception, the process of recognizing objects through touch; Haptic poetry, a liminal art form combining characteristics of typography and sculpture; Haptic technology, technology that interfaces with the user through the sense of touch
The research field is originated with the Dzmitry Tsetserukou and Alena Neviarouskaya papers [1] [2] on affective haptics and real-time communication system with rich emotional and haptic channels. Driven by the motivation to enhance social interactivity and emotionally immersive experience of users of real-time messaging, virtual, augmented ...
