Research haptics and the technologies used to create a haptic device. Find two different types of haptic devices and learn about the functionality and the differences of each type.
Haptic Device Choices
Next, pick a device in which the haptics of the interface are key to the functionality of the device. Some examples include: MOMO Racing by Logitech; CyberGrasp by Immersion Corporation; Force Feedback2 Joystick by Microsoft; 3D SystemsPhantom Premium; Falcon Haptic Device; or a haptic device used by doctors to practice or perform surgery (these are often found in white papers from research universities).
Assignment Requirements
From your research, discuss what haptics are, provide an overview of the technology that is used to create a haptic device, and describe how it works.
Discuss two different types of haptics devices (such as graspable, wearable, or touchable). List and describe an example of each one. Provide a screenshot of each one. What is the functionality of each type and how do they differ? What industry or functionality has made the most advance from each type of haptic device?
Pick and research a device in which the haptics of the interface are key to the functionality of the device.

What is the purpose of the device? How does haptics apply to the device? Find a review of the device and provide a screenshot of the device. What do the users say about the device? What appeals to you about the device? Are there any disadvantages to the haptics in the device?
Personal Reflection
Identify a device that you use that has haptic functionality. Describe the device and the haptics in the device. What do you like about the device? What improvements would you like to see in the device? Add a screenshot of your device or one like it.
