Haptic technology HD Rumble feature (similar to Valve HD Haptics). It has a high level of precision, allowing it to simulate the feel of holding, moving and using objects. "1-2-Switch" has a number of minigames demonstrating this feature. In 2008, Apple's MacBook and MacBook Pro started incorporating a "Tactile Touchpad" design with button functionality and haptic feedback incorporated into the tracking surface. Products such as the Synaptics ClickPad followed thereafter. In 2015, Apple introduced "Force Touch" trackpads onto the 2015 MacBook Pro which simulates clicks with a "Taptic Engine" (which provides haptic feedback). Tactile haptic feedback is common in cellular devices. Handset
Haptic technology haptic vests or haptic suits for use in immersive virtual reality so that explosions and bullet impacts can be felt. Research has been done to simulate different kinds of taction by means of high-speed vibrations or other stimuli. One device of this type uses a pad array of pins, where the pins vibrate to simulate a surface being touched. While this does not have a realistic feel, it does provide useful feedback, allowing discrimination between various shapes, textures, and resiliencies. Several haptics APIs have been developed for research applications, such as Chai3D, OpenHaptics, and the Open Source H3DAPI. Haptic interfaces
