PRESENTATION ON HAPTIC TECHNOLOGY ABSTRACT “HAPTICS”-- a technology that adds the sense of touch to virtual environment .Haptic interfaces allow the user to feel as well as to see virtual objects on a computer‚ and so we can give an illusion of touching surfaces‚ shaping virtual clay or moving objects around. The sensation of touch is the brain’s most effective learning mechanism --more effective than seeing or hearing—which is why the new technology holds so much promise
