Space and Materiality (week 3)

In this upgrading world, we have many upcoming technologies that will make our life more simple. One of the well-known physics is Haptics. It’s the science of touch, a connection between two things. When we touch, grip, hold etc. a particular object it has a certain texture and feels. We can distinguish objects by their grips, texture, method to hold and much more relevant to touch. There are many things we do with the help of touch, sene and hold. Haptics is just going to another level where we create the sense of touch without actually touching the object. We have a lot of touch or grips. We just explored some interesting grips such as the accelerator of the bike, rotating a screwdriver, carrying a bag or basket, holding a phone, pressing a thumb pin, holding a ball, pushing a table, holding a spoon, pulling a chain and many more. They all need different hand postures to grip them to perform them. Haptics in near future will give us some mind-blowing and easy access to these things.
