Incorporating Haptic Devices into Product Design and Validation

The affordable AR-VR displays and headsets deliver unprecedented realism in immersive visuals, but without a sense of touch—the final missing piece—they cannot fully mimic the real-world experience. And this can affect the reliability and usefulness of design reviews, product development, and training programs that make use of AR-VR technologies.

In this LIVE roundtable moderated by DE, panelists will discuss:

  • the role of haptic devices in AR-VR-based training and design review;
  • market trends for professional use of AR-VR;
  • examples of touch-integrated AR-VR. 

Attendees can submit their questions during the question and answer session!
