Bridging the gap between "Man and Machine" through the Haptic/Human Machine Interface (HHMI) and a novel Accelerated Learning System Need Gap - Sensory overload because most HMI systems rely heavily on visual and auditory systems. Those that incorporate the sense of touch or motion often do so through a joystick with force feedback or other motion (vibration) based haptics. Kinaptic HHMI opens new doors for bi-directional high resolution "immersion" and a whole world of new opportunity to exploit the vast amount of skin available on a human body. Evolution of the Kinaptic HHMI system may prove that just like our tongue has variable sensory "tuning" or acuity based on location of the taste buds on the tongue, our skin may have similar haptic sensory sensitivity based on location and signal shape/intensity/waveform etc.
