  2. Haptic technology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haptic_technology

    Haptic technology (also kinaesthetic communication or 3D touch) [1] [2] is technology that can create an experience of touch by applying forces, vibrations, or motions to the user. [3] These technologies can be used to create virtual objects in a computer simulation , to control virtual objects, and to enhance remote control of machines and ...

  3. Haptic communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haptic_communication

    Haptic communication is nonverbal communication and interaction via the sense of touch. Touch can come in many different forms, some can promote physical and psychological well-being . A warm, loving touch can lead to positive outcomes while a violent touch can ultimately lead to a negative outcome.

  4. Haptic perception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haptic_perception

    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]

  5. Hapticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hapticity

    This reaction is degenerate and, in the jargon of organic chemistry, it is an example of a sigmatropic rearrangement. [citation needed] A related example is Bis(cyclooctatetraene)iron, in which the η 4 - and η 6-C 8 H 8 rings interconvert. Case 2, typically: complexes containing cyclic polyhapto ligands with maximized hapticity. Such ligands ...

  6. Stimulus modality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stimulus_modality

    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]

  7. Haptics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haptics

    Haptics may refer to: Haptics, any form of interaction involving touch. 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

  8. Sensory memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_memory

    Haptic memory represents SM for the tactile sense of touch. Sensory receptors all over the body detect sensations such as pressure, itching, and pain. Information from receptors travel through afferent neurons in the spinal cord to the postcentral gyrus of the parietal lobe in the brain. This pathway comprises the somatosensory system.

  9. Affective haptics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affective_Haptics

    Affective haptics is an area of research which focuses on the study and design of devices and systems that can elicit, enhance, or influence the emotional state of a human by means of sense of touch. The research field is originated with the Dzmitry Tsetserukou and Alena Neviarouskaya papers [ 1 ] [ 2 ] on affective haptics and real-time ...
