Notes

  1. 1.

    Haptic output from a device stimulates our tactile senses with vibration, pressure, or movement. It’s used by the Apple Watch to attract our attention to an alert and can be used in virtual reality systems to add feedback to controls such as joysticks to create an experience that is more immersive and realistic.
