If you build, design, or invest in touch tech, this sums up what 2025 really delivered: it wasn't about being LOUD, it was about being intentional. haptics.substack.com/p/haptics-tr...

It might just be me, but when a pet is dreaming in their sleep, I always wonder if they’re dreaming about me.

We're still the human race, right? Like all the same species with slightly different variants? Just checking for a friend.

You are accountable for what you say. Full stop. I think a lot of people have come to terms with this in real life, but seem to think it doesn't apply online.

Haptics is usually subtle — tiny motors, soft feedback, quiet UX layers. But this month’s All Things Haptics is full of motion. 🛞BMW adds tactile steering 💻 Lenovo swaps clicks for vibes 💦Waterjets simulate touch 🏎️ Sim racing adds seat feedback March edition: haptics.substack.com/p/march-vibe...

The guiding light of #haptics is also its Achilles' heel. Companies have spent years trying to make us ‘feel grass,’ but current consumer technology has fundamental limits.

Ashley Huffman @ashleyhuffman.bsky.social · 15/03/2025

I'm the kind of person that buys a kit to grow grass and then refuses to cut it because she saw something about how grass emits a signal notifying plants around it of danger. Can't have the rest of my plants thinking I'm a monster.. 😅

An interface that changes as you interact with it requires visual attention, which is a bold choice for a hands-free experience. This just makes sense.

Sometimes we forget that we’re just a bunch of meat sacks clinging to a rock, hurtling through an expanding universe at incomprehensible speeds. We don’t know how it started. We don’t know what’s fully out there. Take a breath, spaceman.

When a system is broken, there are only so many ways to fix it. When a system stays broken because certain parties gain from its dysfunction, it becomes a barrier to progress—one that must be torn down to move forward.
