Haptic Bladder A haptic bladder is one of the most primitive, albeit effective haptic interfaces. Essentially it is a tiny air-filled sac made of a stretchable but durable material. Linked to an air pressure system via tiny pipework, such bladders coat the inside surfaces of haptic devices worn against the skin.
