James Hayward on What the Future Holds for the Haptics Market
James joined the Haptics Club at noon on Wednesday, June 16, 2021
Not too long ago, all we had was a simple phone pagers that buzzzzzed. The mobile phone has really leveraged that tech and bizzzzzzz, bmmmmm, and buzzzzz’es. Not to mention the delightful low-end brrmmmmmm rumble of gaming controllers.
Today, haptics are used in a wealth of products and industries. The best way to try haptics is hands-on and the best way to learn is to ask an expert, which leads to our next special Haptics Club guest.
On June 16, 2021, at 12:00 pm Eastern Time, the Haptics Club was joined by special guest James Hayward, a lead analyst from IDTechEx. Besides haptics, he covers a variety of topics, including wearables and sensors.
In many ways, hosting James is like the Haptics Club finding a genie in a bottle. He has vast amounts of experience in haptics and other related fields, and outside of the reports and IDTechE events, he’s quite elusive.
As anticipated, it was the perfect opportunity to ask him questions, and thankfully we were able to ask more than three.
