Pain and Violence. Haptic Technology and the Metaverse

The sensations that can be conveyed by today's haptic suits include those reminiscent of external and internal physical pain, such as blows, bullet holes, and cuts.

The concept of haptic technology encompasses any science or discipline that studies the relationship between tactile contact and its effects.

Nowadays, the metaverse industry allows us to go beyond the sensations offered by the senses of sight and sound and to implement the haptic sense within an interface. In this way, when playing a game or watching a film, we can move from the plane of imagination to the realm of physical sensations of pain as well as experience micro-sensations associated with caresses or textures.
