Haptic technology:
The interface between human to digital/electronic mediums through the sense of touch. Much more advanced than pressing buttons or moving a mouse, Haptic technology combines touch, heat and movement as means to convey information between humans and digital devices.
examples:
- iPhone
- Novint Falcon Haptics Controller
Last semester in Steve's class I had an idea of how to combine audio elements with haptic technology. I conceptualized a device where one could manipulate music using their hands. I might like to expand upon this idea, or use it as a jumping-off-point.
