Sense of touch
Hello,
can you please tell me whether sense of touch and haptic sense is one and the same thing or two concepts but related?
Thank you
"The haptic sense combines touch – the reaching and touching of any part of the human skin – with kinaesthesis, or the body’s appreciation of its own movement. It also involves proprioception, a bodily sense of position within space. It has become a major focus of attention in academic studies of recent years, with film theorists, sociologists, computer scientists, physiologists and human geographers all attempting to describe with accuracy the elusive sense of touch."

org/wiki/Haptic_technology It looks to me like "haptic sense" when quoted like this does in fact equate to sense of touch. But "haptic" is used as an adjective to refer to several areas of study and several special technologies having to do with the sense of touch. (see wiki)
