•
Eye tracking technology
•
Internet glasses!
HAPTIC TECHNOLOGY
● Is a feedback technology (using computer applications) that takes
advantage of the user`s sense of touch by applying force, vibrations
and/or motions to the USER.
● requires realistic visual touching to perform a specific function
● Examples:
○ the vibration of your cell phone
○ ultrasound used by gynecologists
○ Morse Code used by the deaf-blind for access to the web
○ recent smartphones with no buttons

Contextual awareness
● a device system’s ability to collect
information based on the user’s
environment combined with
algorithmic preferences
● Examples:
○ navigational application, Waze
○ video suggestions on YouTube
or Netflix

EYE TRACKING TECHNOLOGY
● measures eye activity
● Eye tracking technology measures
eye position and movements which
are being analyzed through
computer applications.
● This can be found in the medical,
