Haptic technology generate haptic effects on a haptic cushion in interacting with multimedia contents at ACTUATOR 2014 in Bremen, Germany. In 2015, Valve released the Steam Controller with HD Haptics, with haptic force actuators on both sides of the controller deliver precise, high fidelity vibrations measured in microseconds, can emulate the spin of a virtual trackball, the click of a scroll wheel, or the shot of a rifle. Every input, from the triggers to the trackpads, can offer haptic feedback to fingertips, delivering vital, high-bandwidth, tactile feedback about speed, boundaries, thresholds, textures, or actions. In 2017, the Nintendo Switch's Joy-Con introduced the
Haptic technology by a fingertip, as a programmable function of the finger's motion. The TPaD Tablet Project uses an ultrasonic technology to modulate the slipperiness of a glass touchscreen, as if a user's finger is floating on a cushion of air. In February 2013, Apple Inc. was awarded the patent for a more accurate haptic feedback system that is suitable for multitouch surfaces. Apple's U.S. Patent for a "Method and apparatus for localization of haptic feedback" describes a system where at least two actuators are positioned beneath a multitouch input device to provide vibratory feedback when a user makes contact with the
