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 ...

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.
Intraocular lens. An Intraocular lens (IOL) is a lens implanted in the eye usually as part of a treatment for cataracts or for correcting other vision problems such as short sightedness and long sightedness; a form of refractive surgery. If the natural lens is left in the eye, the IOL is known as phakic, otherwise it is a pseudophakic lens (or ...
Force Touch is a haptic pressure-sensing technology developed by Apple Inc. that enables trackpads and touchscreens to sense the amount of force being applied to their surfaces. Software that uses Force Touch can distinguish between various levels of force for user interaction purposes. [1][2] Force Touch was first unveiled on September 9, 2014 ...
