Abstract

Recent advances in haptic technology have broadened the applicability spectrum of haptic devices and the potential of prototype development for commerce. This article provides a review of the available haptic technologies and associated hardware/ software characteristics. We compare haptic devices from the hardware perspective. We present the main features of existing haptic APIs as well as the trend in haptic applications development. We examine several case studies to demonstrate the effectiveness of haptic devices.
