Social haptic communication, commonly referred to as haptics, is a standardized method for providing visual and environmental information and social feedback to an individual with vision loss or a combined vision and hearing loss, via touch signals on the body. The purpose of this app is to organize and present a standardized methodology for haptic communication so that everyone may use this method in a uniform and predictable manner. This standardization will permit receivers and providers to use these unique signals anywhere in the world.
