haptic feedback
Vibration confirming input
Haptic feedback is tactile sensation produced by a device in response to user input—the vibration when your phone keyboard registers a tap, the rumble of a game controller during an explosion, the resistance in a steering wheel simulator.
The technology creates physical confirmation of digital actions, making interfaces feel more responsive and immersive.
