This document discusses haptics technology. It begins by defining haptics as technology that adds the sense of touch to computers by using haptic devices. It then describes how haptic devices give users a sense of touch with virtual objects in computer-generated environments, making the objects seem real. The document outlines different types of haptic interfaces like the Phantom and Cyber Grasp interfaces. It also discusses haptic information transfer like tactile and force feedback. Finally, it lists some applications of haptics technology in fields like medicine, robotics, gaming, art and museums.

3. WHAT IS HAPTIC....?
 Haptic is derived from Greek
word ‘haptesthai’ which means
‘touch’.
 It generally means being able
to come into contact.
 Touch is at the core of personal
experience.

4. Introduction
 Haptic is the technology of adding
the sensation of touch and feeling
to computers.
 A haptic device gives people a sense
of touch with computer-generated
environments, so that when virtual
objects are touched, they seem real
and tangible.
 Haptic senses link’s to the brain’s
sensing position and movement of
the body.

5. How it works....???

6. Types of Haptics
Phantom Interface Cyber Grasp Interface

7. Phantom Haptic Interface
 It was developed by Sensible technologies.
 It Allows the user to feel the texture and shape of
theVirtual Object.
 providing a 3D touch to the virtual objects
Cyber Grasp Interface
CGI fits over the user’s entire hand like an Exo –
Skeleton.
Adds Resistive to each of the finger.

8. Haptic Information
Tactile Information-
Refers to the sensations felt by the skin. It allows the
user to feel things such as the texture of surfaces,
temperature and vibration.
Force information-
It reproduces the directional forces that can result
from solid boundaries.
E.g. the weight of virtual objects, inertia, etc..

9. Applications
Medical applications
Robotics
Arts and Design

10. Applications
Gaming Application
Museum display
Textile industry

11. Conclusion
 Continued implementation of tactile devices
to aid people with disabilities will advance
further
 Currently limited to consumers
 Future generations of mobile devices and
game console accessories will implement
more haptic feedback
