An ultrasonic range-finder with haptic feedback called The Bat Hat by Jeff Buswell, Clifford Chou and Andrew Knauss from Cornell University, built as a final project: For our ECE 4760 final project, we designed and implemented an ultrasonic range-finding hat that uses haptic feedback to alert its wearer about obstacles in his or her path. The hat is […]

App note: Tactile feedback with piezoelectric shakers
An introduction to piezoelectric-based actuation: Implementing tactile (haptic) feedback in consumer-electronic devices enhances the user’s experience. It provides a sense of touch in a user-interface design and is the newest major interface on smartphones and other portable consumer-electronic devices. Several haptic technologies are available now, including but not limited to vibration motor actuation, piezoelectric actuation, and […]
