# Haptic feedback

Concept · [Product](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/product)

Also called: haptics, haptic, vibration feedback

Small vibrations a device makes to confirm an action, such as a tap when a switch flips.

**For example:** A fitness app gives a short buzz each time a rep is counted, so the user does not need to look at [the screen](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/front-end).
