👉 Massage computing, also known as haptic computing or force feedback, is a technology that simulates the sense of touch in digital environments, enabling users to interact with virtual objects as if they were real. This is achieved through the use of actuators and sensors that apply forces, vibrations, or motions to the user's body, providing tactile feedback that mimics physical sensations. In applications like virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), massage computing enhances user immersion by allowing precise control over the physical interaction between the user and the digital world. For instance, in surgical training simulations, massage computing can replicate the resistance and texture of human tissues, offering a realistic training experience. In gaming, it can make interactions with virtual objects feel more natural and engaging. This technology bridges the gap between the digital and physical realms, making virtual experiences more intuitive and lifelike.
