Haptics, is the technology of adding the sensation of touch and feeling to computers.
A haptic device gives people a sense of touch with computer-generated environments, so that when virtual objects are touched, they seem real and tangible. Understanding and enabling a compelling experience of Presence not limited to "being there", but extended to "being in touch" with remote or virtual surroundings.
User should be able to touch the virtual object and feel a response from it.
In order to complete the imitation of the real world one should be able to interact with the environment and get a feedback. This feedback is called Haptic Feedback
Virtual reality is a form of human-computer interaction providing a virtual environment that one can explore through direct interaction with our senses. Its only an imitation of the real world.
Haptics is implemented through different type of interactions with a haptic device communicating with the computer. These interactions can be categorized into the different types of touch sensations a user can receive: Tactile feedback Force feedback
It allows the user to feel things such as the texture of surfaces, temperature and vibration.
It reproduces the directional forces that can result from solid boundaries.
It allows human to touch, feel and manipulate 3-D objects in virtual environments.
Common interface devices like mouse and joystick are only input devices. No feedback. Haptic devices are input-output devices.
Immersion Corporation
This device fits over the user's entire hand like an exoskeleton and adds resistive force feedback to each finger

The next important step towards realistically simulated environments that have been envisioned by science fiction authors. Large potential for applications in critical fields as well as for leisurely pleasures. Haptic devices must be smaller so that they are lighter, simpler and easier to use.
