Abstract
Haptics-based systems have had a significant impact in a variety of fields, such as surgical simulation, rehabilitation, technology designed to help the blind and visually impaired, education and training, entertainment and leisure activities such as video games, art and design, online consumer activity, security, and mobile phones. Despite this, haptics-based applications are still in their infancy, and their development is ongoing. In this chapter, the authors present the concept of haptics, its characteristics, classification, and applications. Thus, the outline of the chapter is as follows: Section 2 defines the concept of haptics. Section 3 presents the components of haptics-based system architecture in a virtual environment. Section 4 provides the characteristics and classification of haptic devices. Section 5 presents examples of haptics-based systems in different areas. Finally, Section 6 concludes the chapter with future research directions.
