  1. 1. Haptic technology is a tactile feedback that is given, when it comes in contact with a human, essentially is recreates the sense of touch by applying forces, vibrations, or select motions to those who touched it.

    2. Tangible technology is similar to one of those little toys that you press your hand into and it would create an impression of your hand through little pins, as you can manipulate certain devices that use the technology, to interact with it using your body.

    3. Personally, I feel that haptic technology would make a big advancement in technology, rather than tangible technology which is somewhat of a novelty at this point. It amazes me that in the near future we’ll be able to have our very own holograms, just like in the Iron Man movies. To be able to see things in real time, as a floatable, movable projection to interact with our work, will surely advance the way we do things as human beings.

    4. There are several different types of tactical sensors that allow you to measure information that arises from physical interaction with its environment. Senseg technology creates a sophisticated sensation of touch using force on devices that have the technology installed in them.

  2. 1.Haptics allows the user to take take something that isn't real, and touch it. It essentially recreates the sense of touch.
    2.they are simply put, devices that are real that you can physically interact with.They are similar to haptics but haptics are digital where as these are not.
    3. haptics seems more interesting to me as it stems off of virtual reality, which has always interested me and is a big step towards the future.
    4.Other sensory tech would be motion controls that come with video games. They were the first step into human-tech interaction and they haven't stopped progress since launch with the Nintendo Wii in 2006

  3. 1. Haptic Technology, basically creates the illusion of touch by use of forces, vibrations, or motions that are applied to the person using it.

    2. Tangible Technology has to deal with designing human interfaces that employ physical objects, surfaces, and spaces as tangible embodiments of digital information and processes.

    3. I am equally interested in both technologies. They are incredibly cool and I would love to test them out myself. In my opinion, I believe that Haptic Technology will impact future technologies more than tangible because of the "bringing the virtual world into reality" factor.

    4. The Nintendo Wii and Wii U and their sensor bars.

  4. 1. Haptics technology is a way to recreate feelings and touch. It's a sort of feedback that's activated when in contact to a human it uses forces, vibrations and or select motions.

    2. Tangible technology is a sort of holographic type technology that creates a sort of impression with the use of your hands using small pins.

    3. Haptic technology sounds very helpful with the future and is very similar to VR tech.

    4. The other tech would most likely be motion controls in regards to video games. Like with the Wii

  6. 1. Haptics Tech relys on touch and more interaction
    2. Tangible tech relys more on sensors and motion tracking to get the signal through
    3. Tangible tech is the most interesting and will impact the future the most because we can are ready use the touchscreen and the screen limits the reach unlike a sensor below your hands that track them and allows for more freedom.
    4. The sensors in the kinect andothere devices like it along with ir sensors

  7. 1: Haptic technologies is reverse-robotics. Computers responding to movement instead of computers commanding movement.

    2: Tangible technologies are users turning virtual objects into interactive, physical objects.

    3: I think that the tangible technologies will affect us more than haptic. With tangible, we can learn things in a much different way. We can use it in a large way in education to help students to learn things like algebra and geometry by being able to interact with the things they are using.

    1. 4: Some of the other technologies that are out there include brainwave technologies that read your brainwaves to interact with computer programs without doing anything but thinking and willing things to happen within the computer program. I believe that this will impact us nearly as much as the haptic and tangible technologies.

  8. 1, Haptics is Quite Literally The Science of Touch. The origin of the word haptics is the Greek haptikos, meaning able to grasp or perceive. Haptic sensations are created in consumer devices by actuators, or motors, which create a vibration.

    2. tangiable is a user interface in which a person interacts with digital information through the physical environment. The initial name was Graspable User Interface, which is no longer used. The purpose of TUI development is to empower collaboration, learning, and design by giving physical forms to digital information, thus taking advantage of human abilities of grasp and manipulate physical objects and materials.

    3. They are both really cool I think haptics is more interesting more because it seems more in your face and hands on than tangible
    4. ATT is another technology

  9. 1. Haptic technology is the act of improving realism on a virtual platform. Meaning moving a piece of haptic technology will cause it to upload it to a computer.

    2. Tangible technology is the act of improving virtual aspects on a real platform. Meaning taking a virtual sensor and setting up some code can cause you to control a machine with your hands.

    3. Im more on the Tangible side of technology as i like

  10. 1. Haptics is the touching of virtual objects whether it’s through texture or physical motion used to edit virtual objects.
    2. Tangible technology is where physical actions are detected and translated into resulting physical actions.
    3. I think tangible technology will impact the future the most because the new possibilities with communication that it allows are highly promising. Eventually people will be visiting places across the globe by having the shape of themselves get built by a program in another place that is controlled by their movements. It’s a new step-up from skype/facetime. We could almost literally visit grandma and grandpa in kentucky every day.
    4. The only other sensory technologies that I know of are touchscreens. There are also flexible touchscreens being invented too which is pretty insane.

  11. 1. Haptic technology is any sort of object in the real world which allows us to interact with objects in a virtual world (ex. the Sensable arm and its corresponding SDK).
    2. Tangible technology is any sort of system in the real world which allows us to interact with objects in another part of the world through a computer (ex. MIT's inFORM).
    3. Far and away, the cooler of the two -- for me, at least -- has to be tangible technology. These days it doesn't have too many applications, it's mostly proof of concept, but I'm sure it'll have some really cool applications once it's perfected.
    4. The only thing close to tangible technology I can think of of the top of my head is touchscreens. I can't think of anything else.

  12. 1. Haptic technology is any sort of object in our, the real, world which allows us to interact with objects in a virtual world for example the sensitive robot arm and the 'Feel' objects in thin air tech both of these are examples of Haptic technology.

    2. Tangible tech relays on sensors and motion tracking to get the signal that we are sending through to something else in our world.

    3. I feel that haptic technology would be a huge advancement in our technology, rather than tangible technology which is kind of been here for a while at this point in time and at our level of growing tech. It is like a dream that someday in the, hopefully near, future we will be able to have our holograms, like in the Iron Man, which are some of my favorite movies, at least of the newer movies.

    4. The Nintendo Wii and Wii U and their sensor bars plus the Kinect for the X-box.

  13. 1. Haptics or haptic tech relies more on touching objects we normaly don't touch like virtual items. Almost like Tony Stark able to put images out in the open and use them by using his hands.

    2. Tangible tech more relies on tracing action or sensing something to get a signal. Like interacting with objects thru a device rather then hands.

    3. I feel like both of them would be really useful later on in life but if I had to pick, I couldn't. Both technology look so interesting to do, or create and how it works. Like you can do things what a movie did but put it in your own way.

    4. Theres the Wii and their products, Xbox Live, some computer games you can get.

  14. 1.) Haptics focuses on virtual things being put into the physical world, A.K.A Holographic Skype calls??? Maybe??

    2.) Tangible tech focuses on making some signals or sensors.

    3.) I think Haptic would do better just because they would probably make 3D furniture and make it explode in your house and stuffs.

    4.) Nintendo Wii usually, and Xbox Kinect.

  15. 1. Haptic technology is where you have a screen that reacts to your actions by emitting ultrasound, resembling holograms, or things of the sort.

    2. Tangible technology is similar to Haptic technology, except you can actually drag and drop, move, and do other actions with tangible bits and radical atoms.

    3. Compared to Haptic technology, Tangible technology will be used for more extraordinary matters. Imagine easier demonstrations of machines, better note taking (especially for anatomy and biology), and military plans!

    4. The Xbox Kinect uses an RGB camera, depth sensors, and infrared projectors not only to determine motion, but to see the motion in a 3- Dimension object. The Wii should not count as sensory technology. The Wii remote just emits radio waves, and does not require body movement.

  16. 1. Haptic technology uses actuators to create interactive feelings, such as vibrations, or even pin pricks. The Apple iWatch is one of the latest devices creations to implement this technology.

    2. Tangible technology is technology that can be interacted with. Instead of simply outputting vibrations or certain motions like haptics, it receives user input, processes it and then completes some function. One of the most common examples was with interactable clay squares.

    3. Personally, I am more of a fan of the interactable technologies because of the larger possibilities of it. It could be possible to create fantastic interfaces without even needing to touch a surface with the technology, and with haptics, it could become something truly amazing.

    4. Whenever I think of tactile technologies, the first thing to come to my mind is the Kinect. One may use their entire body to interact with a computer interface, and with ingenuity, it can be combined with other systems to do more than just play games.

  17. 1. Haptics allows you to physically interact with a virtual object.

    2. Tangible is similar to Haptics however your interaction is being recreated in another instance.

    3. I like Haptics most, I think that this tech could be used to create scenarios that can train someone in a safe virtual instance.

  19. 1. In your own words, explain Haptic technology.
    Haptic is relating to the sense of touch, in particular relating to the perception and manipulation of objects using the senses of touch and proprioception.
    Haptic tech would be like a leap motion or an oculus rift and it would be interactive games
    2. In your own words, explain Tangible technology.
    Tangible a thing that is perceptible by touch.
    So tangible tech would be more like touchscreen items like a tablet or a touchscreen hp/windows laptop.
    3. Which is most interesting to you? Or which do you think will impact future technologies the most? Why?
    i like haptic tech because it is more fun because you would be able to do more with it and not have to get a new product for different uses.
    4. What are other sensory, tactile technologies are out there?
    Sensors would be one like a heat or cold sensor for games and even scientific programs like the biosphere.

  20. 1.) Haptic Technology is a type of technology that is able to recreate the sense of touch by using various things like forces, vibrations, and motions to the user and is used to assist in creating virtual objects and other such things.
    2.) Tangible Technology is a form of tech that tries to connect the worlds of bits and atoms by giving them physical form to digital information and computation.
    3.) They both seem unbelievably amazing because of how different they are from any other types of technology, although the Tangible seems to have a more physical influence in the world, such as in the video how it was moving the ball around with the person’s hands, in addition to the other items used to move it.
    4.) Some other technologies like this could include things like the Kinect for the xbox, and I believe there are some types of games for other types of consoles that require body movement through whatever source.

  21. 1. Haptic technology is technology that involves controlling virtual things with physical tools and using the real world to augment the digital space.

    2. Tangible technology uses digital technology to augment and alter physical objects.

    3. I personally am fascinated with tangible technology because I find it really cool that physical objects can be controlled by digital commands in new, cool ways. However, I do see it being more a novelty in the future compared to haptic technology, as haptic technology to me seems to have more practical effects, such as the example of being able to practice surgery.

    4. Neural technology is also an emerging tech that seems to be developing, and I'm excited to see technology that is able to utilize the human mind in interesting ways.

  22. 1. Haptic Technology is a new type of technology which is capable of controlling virtual things and being able to feel and touch them.
    2. It is technology that can be interacted with. Its similar to Haptic Technology just used in different way.
    3.I believe Haptic Technology because there were examples I looked up which really amazed me.
    4. Senseg technology creates a sophisticated sensation of touch using force on the devices that have the technology installed in them.

  24. 1. Haptic technology is pretty much interacting with virtual objects in a physical manner. Kind of like handling a virtual ball in a game by handling a real ball in real life.
    2. Tangible technology seems to be similar to haptic technology in how it gets the input, but instead of affecting a virtual object, it has an effect in the real world.
    3. I am most interested in Haptic technology, purely for the use of making and playing cooler games that could use something like that. However, tangible technology would have a bigger and better impact on the world as a whole because it can do things in the real world.
    4. There is visual technology like the Oculus Rift and the 3DS that change how you see things on a screen and how you can interact with them visually. There's also the Kinect which can track your entire body's motions and input them into a game along with voice commands. The coolest concept of technology in my opinion, is the NerveGear from an anime called Sword Art Online where it takes all 5 of your senses and places you inside of a game.

  25. 1.Haptics technologies is the technology of touching something, or feeling something that isn't real, throw vibrations, counter force, and other feelings.

    2.Tangible technology is a mind blowing technology that takes the gestures and movements of someone or something in one place and transfers it to another surface. It also has many other uses and functions, for example it can have pre set actions or manipulable programs. It has many uses like 3d interactive charts and graphs, to menus for media and more.

    3. I would have to say that both technologies are amazing and interesting, I have to give Tangible technology the award for most interesting, Its like sci fi, but not a super crazy future technology, but a more believable tech that I see being able to be the next big thing.

    4. Both the technologies shown youed the kinect in their functions. The kinect as a gaming tool, which it was made to be, it sucks and is barely funcionable, but as a motion tracking technology, it is a very go base for other projects.

  26. 1. Haptic technology is tech that shows change when a force is applied by a user. Or any interaction by a user result in force received. Touching or feeling something that isn't real.
    2. Uses the movements of a person and transfers them to another surface, that is interactive and alters to replicate the users movements. It can run on instructions or have a sandbox mode through manipulation.
    3. Both are awesome but tangible has more practical uses. It can be used in the medical field like moving a sick patient around without risking infection of the nurses.
    4. The WII, WII-U, Playstation motion, Xbox kinect, motion sensors, and Motion-Activated Guard Robots.

  27. 1) Haptic technology is technology that you can feel, but it is not a tangible object. This includes things like holograms and thats mainly it.

    2)Tangible technology is where the user feels the objects, but they are on a screen and your controller you are using will stop if something is in the way.

    3) Haptic technology interests me the most, because iron man got me in to thinking about how cool holograms are, but tangible technology could make a difference in the world with teaching doctors how to make a lot better surgeries without practice on dead bodies.

    4)Wii, Playstation Move and the kinect.

  28. 1.) Haptic Technology is the way to imitate the feel of actually being in a game or something, inside the technology. One example of Haptic technology is the rumble pack for many video game controllers. It vibrates when certain things happen in the game, making you feel as if you are the cause for the rumbling, providing haptic feeling through the user's hands.

    2.) Tangible technology is something that is effected by what the user does in real life, but not pressing buttons. Like moving a piece across a board will effect the game on your screen. Any little combination will display something. Another way is that what is happening inside the computer effects something in the real world.

    3.) I like the tangible technologies the most. I like the thought of effecting physical and far away, at my computer.
    Tangible technologies will have a great effect in technology for the future. Look at the Xbox Kinect. It detects where a person is and displays it on the screen. This could be used in the future to operate robots, mechs, anything.

    4.) Kinect, whatever the PS4 version of that is, Wii, Mindflex.

  29. 1. Haptic technology is tech that you can see and fell what you are doing to something digital.
    2. Tangible tech is tech that can be used to move objects on a surface from automatic or or from a person across the country.
    3. Haptic tech is more interesting because of the possibilities in what you can make with it and it has a better chance to effect the future and allow you to feel textures and what you are doing when you move objects.
    4.There are some where they use screens and regination to allow you to move object across a screen and play a game with that object

  30. 1. Haptic technology is a tactile feedback technology which recreates the sense of touch by applying force or motion to the user. The Haptic technology can be used to assist in the creation of the virtual objects in a computer simulation, to control such virtual objects.
    2. Tangible tech , the purpose of Tangible, the development is to empower collaboration, learning and design by physical forms to the digital information.
    3. Haptic is the most interesting to me, because of all the possible things you can make with it and also has a better chance to change the future of technology.

  31. 1.) Haptic technology is augmented reality with feedback recreates the sense of touch by applying force or motion to the user. It can be used to make virtual objects in a computer simulation.

    2.) Tangible technology is moving a physical object in real life and it move in the computer simulation.

    3.) Haptic because I find the idea of augmented reality amazing because moving virtual objects in the real world is something I want like in iron man.

    4.) Things like sensors or touch screens.

    ReplyDelete
  32. 1. Haptic technology is feedback technology that needs touch/force/movement to operate and move.

    2. Tangible technology is using movement to control things that are on a grid. Draw a square, move your hand up and that area will rise.

    3. Tangible, it appeals much more to me, and when technology advances and if this is still around, there could be so many uses for this. I can see a use as having the technology like in the video except you can have it surround you and make it carry you places.

    4. There are so many sensory devices. Using hand movements, or having a controllers that you move around to make actions. The most popular and first to be is the Wii. Then evolving into other sensory technology.

  33. 1) Haptic technology is something that allows a peron to create things and fell as they go what they are making it allows doctors the opportunity to practice before entering the operation theater, or someone making a new invention having the abillity to fix something whithout taking it apart.

    2) Tangible technology is something that allows a person the control a board of keys that will rise or fall depending on the persons movements or you can input math equations or bargraphs and they will rise or fall according to them.

    3)I prefer tangible technology because, it could really improve schools and other things and there are countless amounts of programs and solutions you can put into it.

    4) There are devices that react to a persons touch some that react to their movements, and even some that react to brain waves.
