(MENAFN - Coherent Market Insights) Haptics is the use of a combination of three physical properties to provide tactile feedback in a digital device such as keyboards, touchscreens, speakers, and external speakers. It's been around since the 1970s, but it's only recently that we've seen so much of it in the smartphone market. One reason for this is the fact that many users love to browse frequently; they don't want to use a lot of buttons to get around the phone or computer. There are many advantages and drawbacks to using this kind of technology for mobile devices; it is often used in conjunction with other types of technology, including accelerometers and multi-touch input mechanisms. For instance, if the display is static and does not move, it is most likely a haptic device. If there is an image displayed on the screen, it is most likely a haptic device.
