Our touch sense is such an integral part of our everyday experience that few of us really notice it consciously. In stark contrast to the importance of touch in our everyday experiences, the use of touch is diminished in contemporary computer interfaces and products. As designers, we should use the opportunity to enhance the human ability of touch by using tactile qualities of materials, using haptic feedback and making sure we think about new ways of combining both digital and tangible technologies.
