We're going to start taking a look at haptics. Haptics is originally a Greek word that represents the study of our sense of touching in a medical, biological or technological manner.
Through touching we communicate. Touching is one of the most common ways we communicate with one another. Touching is a direct result of allowing other people to enter our personal space and feeling comfortable with it.
Touch is the most real, sincere and emotionally connected manner to experience and sense the world around us.
We receive a large amount of information from our skin when the environment or other people interact with us. Studies have shown that babies who lack a sense of touch have a low sense of survival, in contrast to other senses. Touching is actually the first sense we develop when we're born.
On the next post we'll be checking out the types of touch there are. Don't miss out!
