Description
Understanding and Interpreting Touch: Haptics Explained Haptics is the ability to identify and perceive objects through touch. This active sense of touch involves exploring an object with your hand, rather than simply sensing vibrations or forces on your skin. Lynette Jones explains how haptics works, from the sensory receptors in your skin to the tactile surfaces found on flat-screen displays. The development of new technologies, such as prosthetic hands and tactile screens, relies heavily on our understanding of haptics. In this book, Jones maps out the building blocks of the human tactile system, including how information is processed at the interface between the body and the external world. She also explores topics like haptic perception, haptic illusions, and the creation of virtual haptic effects. By gaining a deeper understanding of haptics, you'll appreciate the complexities behind touch and explore the latest advancements in this field.
