Dublin, June 10, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "The Global Market for Surface Haptics" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global surface haptics end-user application market is segmented into aerospace, automotive consumer electronics, gaming and AR/VR, healthcare, advertising & digital signage and other markets.

Haptic technology stimulates a sense of touch in electronic devices by using different forces, motions or vibrations. Surface haptics focuses on the stimulation of a sense of touch in flat surfaces including computer screens, displays, smartphones, etc. The technology has come to the fore over the last few years, moving from development to production.

As the market for smartphones and tablets reaches maturity, consumers are seeking features beyond functionality. Automotive Human Machine Interface (HMI) is a fast-growing sector but has significant usability and safety issues that can be resolved with the use of surface haptic technology. This report assesses the latest technical developments in the surface haptics market including:
