About

Haptic Helper

Features
Read full description

"Haptics engage people’s sense of touch to enhance the experience of interacting with onscreen interfaces." This app provides a simple demonstration on the different Haptic interactions that are available to users using apple devices.  This app was created from the need to help others to feel and see for themselves how haptics can be used. It is difficult to feel these as the current simulator does not support Haptics. This is intended to help developers and designers to see what haptics may be best for their apps. To use this app, simply open the app and tap on the haptic interaction to feel it for yourself. It also provides useful tools such as descriptions, sample code and links to further information.
