vibrotactile displays

Vibrotactile displays are devices that communicate information through gentle vibrations on the skin. They use small motors or actuators to produce specific patterns or intensities of vibrations, allowing users to feel alerts, messages, or sensory cues without relying on sight or sound. These displays are often used in wearable technology, assistive devices, or virtual reality systems to provide intuitive feedback. By translating digital signals into tactile sensations, vibrotactile displays enhance user interaction and awareness, especially in environments where visual or auditory cues might be limited or distracting.
