Haptic technology (also kinaesthetic communication or 3D touch) [1][2] is technology that can create an experience of touch by applying forces, vibration [broken anchor] s, 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 ...
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]
The Teslasuit is a full body haptic suit with motion capture and biometric sensors. Its haptic feedback system uses electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) to simulate feelings and sensations. The use of biometric sensors has proposed uses in medicine, and specifically rehabilitation psychology.
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. The sense of touch allows one to experience ...
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. Similar to visual iconic memory, traces of ...
The somatosensory system, or somatic sensory system is a subset of the sensory nervous system. It has two subdivisions, one for the detection of mechanosensory information related to touch, and the other for the nociception detection of pain and temperature. [1] The main functions of the somatosensory system are the perception of external ...
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 ...
Mixed reality (MR) is a term used to describe the merging of a real-world environment and a computer-generated one. Physical and virtual objects may co-exist in mixed reality environments and interact in real time. Mixed reality that incorporates haptics has sometimes been referred to as visuo-haptic mixed reality. [1][2]
