Haptic Phones: Force feedback game controller technology in cell phones

Many of us gamers love force feedback controller technology and that was shown with how many Sony PS3 owners were not happy with the lack of DualShock in the PS3’s controllers (although that’s being sorted now).

Now that very same technology is shaking up the cell phone market, there are seven haptic phones available with two of them available in the U.S. and the other five are available in Europe and Asia.

Computerworld say “Nokia is using a special screen with “piezo sensor pads” just below the surface. These pads can effect about 0.1 mm of movement of just a small part of the screen, enough for your brain to register button feedback“.

A Nokia S60 device will be the first to ship with Haptikos technology, you can read information on what phones you can get on Computer World
