Haptic Terms

Haptic Feedback (haptics): Controlled vibrations at set frequencies to provide a sensation based on the current action. Most haptic feedback uses vibrations.
Haptic Touch: A specific form of haptic feedback that uses vibrations to mimic sensations, such as pressing a button or scrolling through a list. For example, holding your finger on an app icon may produce a vibration as a menu opens.
Interface Elements (GUI): Visual components that a computer user interacts with through direct manipulation to read or edit information about an application. Examples include sliders, buttons, and dropdown menus.
HID (Human Interaction Device): A standard protocol enabling devices to detect and identify connected peripherals. Examples include mice, keyboards, and TVs. Refer to HID Usages and Descriptions for coding documentation.

Components

Peripheral: Any device connected to a computer, such as a mouse or keyboard, to expand existing functionality.
Microcontroller: A small computer on a single integrated circuit, designed for embedded applications. It contains one or more CPUs, memory, and programmable input/output peripherals.
Breadboard: A simple device designed to create circuits without soldering, typically used for prototyping electronic designs.
Wires: Used to connect components together and build or maintain circuits.
Soldering: The process of joining two or more different types of metal together by melting solder, an alloy melted at high temperatures.
Eccentric Rotating Mass (ERM) Motor / Pager Motor: A common motor used in haptics to create vibrations, often used to inform users of new messages or calls.
Bluetooth: Wireless technology used for connecting devices.
