The use of virtual reality haptic simulators can enhance skill acquisition and reduce stress among dental students during ...

It's called haptic technology, and it represents one of the most challenging research fields in robotics. But with new sensors and feedback systems finally making it out of the lab, it also ...

F rom virtual reality to rehabilitation and communication, haptic technology has revolutionized the way humans interact with the digital world. While early haptic devices focused on single-sensory ...

Northwestern says the new device can simulate a much more realistic sense of touch. It could even let deaf people "feel" ...

The device moves beyond simple vibrations to produce a refined and diverse range of haptic sensations. Most haptic ...

It's easy to take for granted the gentle buzz of your smartwatch when the timer you set for your boiling water goes off. Simple haptic feedback like this has helped humans and machines communicate ...

The use of virtual reality haptic simulators can enhance skill acquisition and reduce stress among dental students during preclinical endodontic training, according to a new study published in the ...

Part of the reason haptic technology lags video and audio in its richness and realism is that the mechanics of skin deformation are complicated. Skin can be poked in or stretched sideways.

Today’s innovations focus on cutaneous feedback – stimulating the skin’s receptors to provide realistic touch sensations – ...

The sense of touch gives you vital information about the world around you. From gripping a coffee mug to shaking hands or ...
