haptic feedback
Haptic feedback is an electronic sleight of hand that attempts to fool humans into feeling touch. High-priced gloves and controllers promise a glimpse of the future but fail to mimic even the ridges of a plastic bottle. While it boasts immersion through vibrations and resistance, what you get is a crude tremor that only rattles your desk. The flagship of cutting-edge tech amplifies misclick frustrations more than genuine textures. Ironically, the true purpose of haptic feedback is to mask the impoverishment of real sensation.
