TapticWidgets: Haptic Interaction Techniques for Accessible and Multimodal Desktop Computing

Summary

We are investigating the impact of simple haptic feedback on common computer tasks. Some common devices provide vibration feedback capability. However, most applications do not use this feature. You will use an Apple Magic Trackpad 2 to perform the experiments. The experiments simulate the tasks everyone encounters every day when using a computer.
