force feedback| In virtual reality, realistic simulation of the physical sense of touch. This is an area of active research, as many applications of virtual reality are useless or impossible without it. |
| For example, force feedback is essential in medical training systems to teach the students how hard to press with a scalpel in delicate areas of the human body. Even simulated games need force feedback in order to allow objects to respond realistically to falling or being hit. |
| In the second half of the 1990s, force feedback became popular in joysticks, hand-held controllers, and steering wheels used with computer games on personal computers and game consoles. |
