As the fields of virtual and augmented reality are experiencing considerable advancements, driven largely by growing demand for immersive experiences across the gaming, entertainment, professional education, and healthcare sectors, the haptic technology market size is expanding.
Integration of haptic technology facilitates tactile interactivity that deepens realism within virtual settings, accelerating its incorporation. For instance, haptic input allows surgical simulation exercises to mimic tissue texture and responses, enhancing training quality substantially. As interactive virtual modelling assumes greater significance, partnerships that couple augmented reality development with haptics are likely to yield experiential gains across numerous domains in the coming years.
The automotive industry has increasingly incorporated haptic technology into vehicle user interfaces to facilitate safer and more intuitive driver experiences. Both touchscreen infotainment systems and steering wheel controls now utilise haptic feedback to provide tactile cues, thereby helping to mitigate driver distraction. For example, a motorist could receive a haptic notification through the steering wheel alerting to lane departure warnings. As automobiles continue advancing with more sophisticated functionalities like autonomous driving capabilities, the importance of haptic feedback for maintaining safety and comfort will become even more significant.
3D Systems Corporation (NYSE: DDD) offers The Touch, a mid-range, professional haptic device used in research, 3D modelling, and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) applications. The Touch is a motorised device that applies force feedback to the user’s hand, allowing them to feel virtual objects and producing life-like touch sensations as users manipulate on-screen 3D objects. When used with the OpenHaptics developer software toolkit, The Touch allows developers to design and deploy haptic programs rapidly, integrate them into existing applications, prototype new ideas, and create products enabled with haptic technology. The Touch is also sold as a component of Geomagic Freeform.
