You can use this task to incorporate the characteristic of tactile sensation (sense of touch) into the application. By utilizing tactile feedback, the application engages the user through touch-based responses such as vibrations, forces, or movements.

For example, when a notification arrives on a phone, it vibrates to signal the user. Haptic feedback is widely used in various devices, including smartphones, gaming controllers, virtual reality systems, and more.

Common types of tactile sensations include:

  • Vibration
  • Impact
  • Texture simulation
  • Pressure
  • Motion, and others

Steps to Configure

  1. On the task group’s name page, see the Task panel.
  2. In the Task panel, search and find the Haptic Feedback task.
  3. Drag the Haptic Feedback task from the Task panel to the Execution panel.
  4. Under Haptic Feedback, a group of boxes comes into view.
  5. In the boxes, configure related properties as follows:

Vibration Type- The haptic feedback technology offers several tactile sensations in addition to the vibration sensation. This property allows you to define the vibration type sensation by providing the following options:
a. Predefined
In the Vibration Type list, when you select this option, it offers you predefined patterns (for example, Alarm). You can select one of the available patterns.

b. Custom Pattern
In the Vibration Type list, when you select this option, the Haptic Feedback tree displays the following boxes:

  1. Custom Pattern
  2. Intensity
  3. Repeat Count

In the Vibration Type list, the Custom Pattern option allows you to define a customized vibration pattern with the pause and vibration timeframes at regular intervals.

When the application executes the Haptic Feedback task, the user’s device interacts with him or her by playing the configured vibration pattern.

Pattern- The Haptic Feedback tree displays this box after you select the Predefined option in the Vibration Type list. Click the Pattern list and then select a predefined pattern (for example, Notification ).

Custom Pattern- This property comes into view after you select Custom Pattern in the Vibration Type list. It contains four boxes. In these boxes, you can enter a value as follows:
a. First Box
In this box, enter a numeric value (for example, 450) in milliseconds. This value specifies a pause timeframe. After this timeframe, the device will play the first tactile-based vibration pattern.

b. Second Box
In this box, enter a numeric value (for example, 1000) in milliseconds. This value specifies the device’s first vibration pattern’s timeframe.

c. Third Box
In this box, enter a numeric value (for example, 450) in milliseconds. This value specifies the timeframe of the second pause that the device takes after it plays its first vibration pattern.

d. Fourth Box
In this box, enter a numeric value (for example, 1200) in milliseconds. This value specifies the timeframe of the second vibration pattern that the device plays after the second pause.

When the application executes the Haptic Feedback task, the device will interact with the user by playing the predefined vibration pattern that you selected in the Pattern list.

Intensity- In this property, you can select the following intensity levels by clicking the Intensity list:-
a. Low
b. Medium
c. High

Repeat Count- In this box, enter a numeric value (for example, 4 ). This value specifies the number of repetitions that the device takes to play the set of vibration patterns.

For instance:- Assume you enter 4 in the Repeat Count box. When the application executes the Haptic Feedbaack task, the device will play the vibration pattern four times.

  1. After you configure the related properties, click Save to configure the Haptic Feedback task.
