What are haptics in VR and AR?

<span data-sheets-value="{"1":2,"2":"Haptics refer to technology that simulates the sense of touch. The sense of touch is very important in VR because the skin is our largest organ and because the brain circuits that process touch are very fast — 20 times faster than vision."}" data-sheets-userformat="{"2":4483,"3":{"1":0},"4":{"1":2,"2":16777215},"10":2,"11":4,"15":"Arial"}">Haptics refer to technology that simulates the sense of touch.

How is emerging technology helping people with disabilities?

Virtual reality and augmented reality can give people with disabilities access to experiences and therapies that would not otherwise be available. For instance, a wheelchair-bound senior could wear VR goggles and experience the rush of climbing a mountain or surfing a big wave. These positive experiences can lead to improved emotional well-being.
