Abstract

The word haptic comes from the Greek word hap tin. Devices, which allow the user to have great sensory effects of force, touch, vibration, temperature, and possibly a combination of any of these sensations together.
Haptic Displays are often coupled with input devices so that they can provide a quick feedback loop between measuring user movement and touched feedback sent to the user, while ensuring low latency between human motion and tactile feedback which is a key requirement for creating an effective display.
