Hi,

What makes a haptic interface "good"? bad? *Exceptional*?

What would you nominate as the "best" haptic interface?

What (electronic) device would you nominate as having the
best haptic interface?

And, of course, "why", in each case.

Thanks!

Optimal throughput: direct connection to the motor cortex (sensor implanted
soon after birth, to maximize training time). ;-)

Dunno.

When it is painful. ;)

> *Exceptional*?

Perhaps a lot of positive scientific papers about it.

> What would you nominate as the "best" haptic interface?

For doing what? Pointing something out on a screen, inputting text and/or
context-sensitive instructions, digging a ditch, positioning concrete
slabs, removing a kidney and piloting an aircraft would usually benefit
from different interface properties (haptic or not).

What is the difference from the previous question?

The good interface is a big green square button with inscription:
"I WANT EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW !"

The best interface is a big green round button without any inscriptions.
