Haptics White Paper: Improving the Mobile User Experience through Touch
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Driven by a competitive business climate, handset user interface design is receiving a great deal of study and attention. Technology advances have turned the mobile phone into the ultimate portable tool for information, communications, productivity, and entertainment. Designing a user interface (UI) that can handle these capabilities—and still remain useful, usable, and uncomplicated—is the challenge. In addition, mobile phones are among the most personal of devices, and UI designers know that appealing to subscribers’ emotional, as well as physical (utilitarian) needs, is a winning combination.

متن کاملThe Virtual Haptic Back Project
This paper discusses the Ohio University Virtual Haptic Back (VHB) project, including motivation, implementation, and initial evaluations. Haptics is the science of human tactile sensation and a haptic interface provides force and touch feedback to the user from virtual reality. The VHB combines high-fidelity computer graphics with haptic feedback to augment training in palpatory diagnosis in O...
متن کاملTouch Screens and Touch Surfaces are Enriched by Haptic Force-Feedback
Greek word haptikos (from haptesthai, to grasp or touch). For touch user interfaces, the term typically refers to a tactile sensation or force-feedback that users experience when touching the surface. Conventional touch screens do not provide the tactile sensation of mechanical buttons and knobs, resulting in a less satisfying experience. Haptics technology can reproduce the same feel or tactil...
