Haptics - 2014 Global Strategic Business Report
The era of tactile computing has resulted in tactile interaction becoming an integral part of the interface design process of electronic devices. Defined as touch based sensory perceptions of texture, temperature, and other physical attributes of an object in a virtual environment, haptic feedback is poised to emerge into the future of human computer interface. Human interaction with computer applications and systems will be dominated by the science of touch largely due to a host of physiological and emotional reasons.
The touchscreen due to its operational simplicity and high utility has gained widespread adoption and today has become almost ubiquitous in smartphones and tablets. The advent of touch screen has greatly contributed towards the simplicity of using advanced electronic devices. Unlike traditional mechanical switches and buttons, touchscreens however do not provide tangible tactile feedback against selection of buttons. This inherent lack of tactile feedback in touchscreens provides the perfect business case for haptic tactile feedback.

Haptic technology wields a distinct emotional influence that drastically changes user experience of mobile media consumption. By stimulating real world tactile interactions, haptics provides the much important realistic, immersive, and intuitive interaction with electronic devices. Key benefits of haptic technology poised to drive its adoption include improved device usability, enhanced realism, the ability to create contextual awareness, and simulation of physical feedback which is critical for modern touchscreen devices where audio or visual confirmation are often insufficient. Emerging application areas of haptics include smartphones, tablets, virtual keyboards, gaming and media, automotive infotainment, climate control, navigation systems, robotic surgical systems, medical devices, and medical simulators, among others.
With mobile internet coming of age, and with increasing number of people accessing web content from mobile phones, smartphones, and tablet phones, the need to integrate haptics to facilitate mobile interaction is now more critical than ever. The limited screen size of mobile devices coupled with information explosion and screen overload and navigation challenges provides the perfect opportunity for haptics to make an impact. The technology holds the potential to enhance mobile interaction by significantly increasing available screen space. As abstract communication grows in prominence, haptics will witness a parallel rise in popularity as the preferred technology to provide system notifications and feedbacks and context sensitive interaction. Rise in mobile data usage is therefore poised to provide a fertile environment for the growth and proliferation of haptics.
