Haptography: Digitizing our sense of touch - Katherine Kuchenbecker
Summary
The TED-Ed video features Katherine Kuchenbecker, who explains the concept of haptography, a technology making use of tactile feedback to replicate the sense of touch electronically. She provides three examples of applications: mimicking the texture of surfaces, aiding dental students in diagnosing cavities, and assisting stroke rehabilitation through motion training.
