Under Pressure: Advances In Haptic Textiles For Sensory Feedback

New haptic textile systems could revolutionize how we interact with our environment, not only medically but recreationally as well. Haptic technologies involve the recreation of the sense of touch through a wearable device and computer system. These technologies may be used for the generation of virtual objects within computer simulations, the manipulation of virtual objects, or telerobotics, to name a few use cases. Haptic devices may integrate tactile sensors that measure forces applied by the user on the interface or exerted on the user by an external device. Read more at Forbes.
