Abstract
Alongside vision and hearing, haptic technology is an essential component forming the basis of current virtual reality and metaverse experiences. However, this technology remains in its developmental stages. Unlike other sensory technologies, it involves numerous receptors throughout the human body, leading to the existence of diverse individual technologies across various categories and fields. By creating a flexible, standards-based framework for haptics that includes a broad-ranging haptics stimulus descriptor enabling systematic overall understanding, classification, and grouping of these diverse technologies, categories, and fields, along with the relevant terminology and definitions, we believe it is possible to achieve appropriate and smooth technological progress while maintaining quality, without hindering the advancement of this technology.
