Haptic technology, or haptics, is a feedback technology, which mimics the sense of touch byapplying stimuli, such as compression, friction & vibration forces to the user.In gaming & in "sensory rehabilitation" for individuals with disability, the ability for a user to'feel' a virtual environment as well as ‘see’ it would be a significant advance on what iscurrently available & will open up numerous opportunities.MIAT, in conjunction with Southampton University, is developing a haptics (multi sensory)system for the hand that will provide the user with a sense of touch, which when combinedwith position sensing technology, will allow the user to 'see' that motion or action. Thistechnology has significant commercial potential as a gaming product, particularly as virtualreality gaming is becoming more popular, but will also be transferable to pioneeringrehabilitation technology for sensory re-education in medicine, e.g. stroke recovery.

触觉技术是一种反馈技术，它通过向用户施加诸如压缩、摩擦和振动力等刺激来模拟触觉。在游戏和残障人士的“感官康复”中，用户“感觉”和“看到”虚拟环境的能力将是目前可用的一个重大进步，并将开辟许多机会。MIAT与南安普顿大学合作，正在开发一种手部触觉（多感官）系统，该系统将为用户提供触觉，当与位置传感技术相结合时，将允许用户“看到”运动或动作。这项技术作为游戏产品具有巨大的商业潜力，特别是随着虚拟现实游戏变得越来越流行，但也可以转移到医学感官再教育的先锋康复技术中，例如中风康复。
