From virtual reality to rehabilitation and communication, haptic technology has revolutionized the way humans interact with ...

How can haptic feedback, which uses vibrations to simulate real touch sensations, be improved to provide more accurate data to users? This is what a recent | Technology ...

When it comes to haptic feedback, most technologies are limited to simple vibrations. But our skin is loaded with tiny sensors that detect pressure, vibration, stretching and more.

"True immersion in haptic technology depends not just on what ... particularly in fields such as medical rehabilitation, prosthetic development and human-machine interaction," O'Malley said.

Most haptic devices only deliver feedback as simple vibrations. New device applies dynamic forces in any direction to simulate a more realistic sense of touch. Small, lightweight device can enhance ...

Northwestern's wireless device mimics real touch by replicating vibrations, pressure, stretching, and more—delivering a ...

Imagine if a doctor could remotely do a non-invasive, highly precise medical procedure on her patients using a tiny robot, or ...
