Haptic technology enables users to experience touch sensations when interacting with virtual objects. It works by applying forces, vibrations or motions to the user through haptic devices. There are two main types of haptic feedback: tactile feedback, which simulates textures and vibrations, and force feedback, which reproduces directional forces. Haptic technology has applications in areas like virtual reality, video games, medicine, and electronic commerce by allowing users to physically interact with and feel virtual objects. The future of haptics is focused on advancing tactile interactions with holograms and remotely interacting with objects.

3. WHAT IS HAPTIC
TECHNOLOGY?
•The word haptic is derived from the Greek
"haptikos," which means a sense of touch.
•The science of applying touch sensation and
control to interact with computer developed
applications is the best definition given for
haptic technology.
•Haptic technology enables the user to
interface with a virtual environment via the
sense of touch by applying forces,
vibrations, or motions to the user.
•In a simple way we can say that haptic
technology recreates the sense of touch
through different kinds of vibration , motion
and forces.

4. Haptics is implemented through different type of interactions
with a haptic device communicating with the computer. These
interactions can be categorized into the different types of
touch sensations a user can receive:
1) Tactile Feedback
2) Force Feedback
TYPES OF HAPTIC FEEDBACKS

5. • Refers to the sensations felt by the skin.
• It allows the user to feel things such as the texture of
surfaces, temperature and vibration.
TACTILE FEEDBACK

6.  It reproduces the directional forces that can result from solid
boundaries.
 E.g. the weight of virtual objects, inertia, etc.
FORCE FEEDBACK

7. •Haptic feedback is the use of touch to
communicate with users.
•Most people are familiar with the
vibration in a mobile phone or the
rumble in a game controller.
•Smart phone or tablet is pretty much
just a smooth sheet of glass, it's
difficult to register any sort of tactile
feedback to our fingers.
•Haptics helps here. The short and light
vibration when typing out a message
with an on-screen keyboard can make
a big difference. Here vibrations is the
feedback from the device to the end
user.
•Haptic feedback is the use of touch

8. HAPTIC TECHNOLOGY WORKING
•They allow users to touch, interact, feel the
texture of 3d virtual objects.
•Haptic devices are both input and output
devices unlike keyboard or mouse.
•Haptic devices collect the data from the
surface of the object.
•They the store the information that is
collected.
•When we want to feel the object whose
information is stored, haptic rendering is done
and the sense of touch is felt.
•In this way haptic devices proved the sense of
touch to the end user.
•There are many haptic devices, lets see some
of them.

9. PHANTOM
• Provides a 3D touch to the virtual objects.
• When the user move his finger, then he could really
feel the shape and size of the virtual 3D object that
has been already programmed.
• The Cyber Grasp system fits over the users entire hand like an
exoskeleton and adds resistive force feedback to each finger
• Adapted to different size of the fingers
• Located on the back of the hand

10. ULTRA HAPTICS
•In ultrahaptics we create tactile sensations in mid-air.
•No controllers or wearables are needed: the patented “virtual touch”
technology uses ultrasound to project shapes and textures directly onto the
user’s hands.
•Controls can be operated without touching a surface, gestures can be
enhanced with tactile feedback, and users can interact in a natural way with
virtual objects.

11. APPLICATIO
NS
Videogames
Medicine
• Haptic interfaces for medical simulation may
especially useful for training in minimally invasive
procedures such as laparoscopy and interventional
radiology as well as for performing remote surgery.
• There are many examples of haptic technologies
in video games hardware such as console
controllers which can be set to vibrate and give
feedback in that regard . Arcade and racing
games also use this technology.

12. APPLICATION
S
VIRTUAL REALITY
•Virtual reality has been able to engage a users
senses of sight and sound . Recent
developments have attached the technology of
haptic devices to virtual reality thus engaging
the sense of touch.

13. FUTURE
APPLICATIONS
•Future applications of haptic technology
in the electronic commerce enables
consumers to physically interact with the
commodity.
•Current research focuses on mastery of
tactile interaction with holograms and
distance objects.
•Haptics can also used in biometric
security.
•Which successfully may result in the
applications and advancement in gaming,
movies, manufacturing, medical and
other industries.

14. CONCLUSION
Haptic technology is a gate way where virtual world
meets the real world.
