active haptics

Active haptics involves devices that simulate touch sensations by generating forces, vibrations, or movements to mimic real-world tactile experiences. Unlike passive systems that only respond passively, active haptic devices can actively produce sensations such as the feel of textures or the resistance of objects, allowing users to experience realistic interactions in virtual or remote environments. This technology enhances how we interact with digital interfaces, virtual reality, or robotic systems by providing a sense of touch that responds dynamically to user actions, making virtual interactions more immersive and intuitive.
