A watch. A wristband. 

A glass. A hat. A shirt. 

A belt. A ring. A glove. 

A sock. A sleeve. 

A wearable.
Haptics
is the science of
applying touch (tactile) sensation
to interact with
computer applications.
vibro, warmth, pressure, touch, sweat, heartbeat
Things as stories

Notifications as separate layer
Context of user (profiles)
Actions of user (sensors)
Binds the devices into a context

New interactions on haptic
TaSST; Cooperation with Digital Life Lab, HvA
Related to behavior design, notifications as design pattern
Nerve fibers detect tempature differences
free nerve endings detect
servere pain and high pressure
Merkel endings detect
continuous pressure
Ruffini endings detect tension
in different layers; stretching
Pacinian endings detect high
vibtations
Skin is a complex organ
Some learnings
The wristis the most efficient place for recieving haptic
signals.
Vibro-haptic stimuli are very effective. 

Contextis important for understanding though.

Air pollution suit - By Borre
The things are the mediators,
the conversational piece for your service to build stories & relations.
Haptics are part of a dialog, part of adaptive services
that function in a rule based system.
The touchpoints of haptics are the notifications
of a service to mediate dialogs.
