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 engineers in London as part of The Shadow Project, now known as the Shadow Robot Company, an ongoing research and development program whose goal is to complete the first convincing artificial humanoid. An early prototype can be seen in NASA's collection of humanoid robots, or robonauts. The Shadow Hand has haptic sensors embedded in every joint and finger pad, which relay information to a central computer for processing and analysis. Carnegie Mellon University in Pennsylvania and Bielefeld University in Germany found The Shadow Hand to be an invaluable tool in advancing the understanding of haptic awareness, and in 2006 they
