Allison Okamura interacts with a haptic (force feedback) virtual environment with a deformable object in collaboration with doctoral students Kirk Nichols (seated) and Nick Colonnese.
To develop a machine with accurate haptic feedback, giving a sensation of both cutting force and rate of material removal, algorithms are required to forecast bone sawing forces based on user input.
Instead, the Korean manufacturer aggressively decided to place a 'virtual' home button in the bottom front of the device, with haptic feedback a-la Apple, and embed a new generation ultrasonic fingerprint reader underneath it.
And the newer MacBooks have a touchpad with haptic feedback built in.
