vibrotactile devices

Vibrotactile devices are technology tools that deliver tactile feedback by generating controlled vibrations on the skin. They use small motors or actuators to produce specific vibration patterns, which can convey information, alerts, or enhance user interactions. Often used in gaming, virtual reality, or assistive devices for sensory substitution, these systems help users perceive data through touch, improving communication and experience without relying solely on visual or auditory cues. Their design allows for discreet, intuitive signals that can be felt easily, making them versatile for various applications in entertainment, healthcare, and accessibility.
