Haptic Interface
Haptic Interface is a technology in interactive design that lets users feel digital objects through touch, using vibrations, pressure, or motion. In interactive technology, designers can use haptic feedback to guide users' hands or fingers, making digital experiences feel more real. For example, a haptic interface can make a touchscreen feel like it has buttons or textures, helping users know where to press without looking. Designers can use different patterns of vibration or movement to signal actions, warnings, or changes in a digital environment, which can make games, virtual reality, and smart devices more engaging and easier to use.
