Tactile Interaction

Tactile interaction refers to how people communicate and connect through touch or physical sensation. It involves feeling textures, pressures, or vibrations through the skin, which can convey information, emotion, or intention. In design and technology, tactile interaction enhances user experiences by providing physical feedback—like vibrations in a smartphone or textured surfaces on devices—that help users understand or feel connected to the interface. It plays a crucial role in making interactions more intuitive, engaging, and accessible, especially when combined with visual or auditory cues.
