haptic
Relating to touch
Haptic relates to the sense of touch.
In technology, haptic feedback is tactile sensation delivered through a device—the vibration of a phone, the resistance of a game controller: The haptic response made the buttons feel more responsive.
Haptic interfaces let users feel virtual objects or textures.
