Full origin of haptics →Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between haptics and vibration?
Vibration is one crude effect: the whole device shakes. Haptics covers a designed range of sensations, precisely timed and varied in strength, so a tap, a click and a rumble feel distinctly different.
Is haptics singular or plural?
It takes a singular verb, like physics or mathematics: the haptics on this phone is excellent. In everyday tech talk people often treat it as plural instead, and nobody objects.
What does haptic mean as an adjective?
Relating to the sense of touch. A haptic engine is the small motor producing the sensations; haptic feedback is what you feel when it fires.
