Haptic technology refers to a technology that uses forces, vibrations, or motions to provide the user with an experience of touch. These technologies could be utilized to construct virtual objects in a computer simulation, to control virtual objects, and improve the remote control of machines and devices. Tactile sensors which measure the forces applied by the user on the interface are used in haptic devices. Steering wheels, game controllers and joysticks are examples of simple haptic devices. Haptic technology enables researchers to better understand the workings of the human sense of touch by permitting the construction of controlled haptic virtual objects. There are a wide range of applications of haptic technology including mobile devices and personal computers. This book is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex advancements in the field of haptic technology. It will provide comprehensive knowledge to the readers.

Haptics is a kind of human-computer interaction technology that uses tactile feedback or other physiological sensations to guide activities or processes in a computer. A haptic interface refers to a type of system that enables human beings to interact with computers using movements and bodily sensations. It is most commonly used in virtual reality settings, where people can interact with virtual items and elements. It uses specially designed sensors to transmit an electrical signal to the computer in response to various sensory movements or interactions. The computer interprets each electrical signal in order to carry out an action or process. The haptic interface, in turn, transmits a signal to the human body or organ in the form of rapid movement and vibration. This book explores the science, engineering and design aspects of haptic interaction in the present day scenario. It is appropriate for students seeking detailed information in this area as well as for experts.
