About haptic technology
Haptics or haptic technology is a tactile feedback technology that uses the sense of touch by applying forces and vibrations motions to a user. Through this technology, end-users are able to perceive touch sensations when using electronic devices. Haptics are enabled by actuators that are embedded in a device, and it makes the user experience more physical and realistic. Haptic feedback for mobile devices is usually acquired through tactile feedback because the outside environment for mobile devices does not have any mechanical constraints. Vibrotactile is the most widely used tactile feedback for mobile devices, but advancement in actuators and controls have resulted in other tactile feedbacks such as pulses and vibrations.
Technavio's analysts forecast the haptic technology market for mobile devices in the US to grow at a CAGR of 39.1% over the period 2014-2019.
