Morgan-IAT: Haptic Sensory System for the Hand

触觉技术，或称触觉，是一种反馈技术，通过对用户施加压力、摩擦力和振动力等刺激来模拟触觉。在游戏和残障人士的“感觉康复”中，用户‘感觉’虚拟环境和‘看到’的能力将是目前可用的能力的重大进步，将打开无数机会。MIAT与南安普顿大学合作，正在为手开发一种触觉(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’该动作或动作。这项技术作为游戏产品具有巨大的商业潜力，特别是在虚拟现实游戏变得越来越流行的情况下，但也将被转移到用于医学感官再教育的开创性康复技术，例如中风恢复。

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.
