Haptic - a sense activated by the physical or virtual tactile quality and feel of an object, material, or fellow creature. Communication by haptic means involves touch and kinesthetics. So playing with food (babies or adults!); making a work (artist) or caressing a sculpture (audience); trailing your fingers across someone's arm or a cat's back all activate this sense and communicate sensation (pleasurable and repulsive) to the one touching (and in sentient beings the one being touched).

Babies squishing a banana are engaging their haptic sense (Early Childhood literature)
I want the audience to go beyond just looking at my work, I wanted to engage people's haptic responses and encourage them to touch, hold and caress my sculptures (Artist)
People taking part in this virtual world will encounter objects and people through haptic and kinesthetic means. They will experience the ability to touch,move and communicate by virtual means. (Gaming)
