Abstract
Tactile/haptic interactions make use of a far wider set of interaction techniques than other forms of human-computer interaction including traditional direct manipulation of screen objects by pointing devices. This paper explores the relationships between interaction tasks within applications and the interaction devices used for those interactions, both current and future. The attributes of those devices, and their various combinations within a device, are also discussed. It introduces and discusses existing techniques, together with developments in research and guidance relating to various tactile/haptic interaction techniques.
