Abstract
In this paper, we present edutainment games to teach basic concepts of haptic technology to general users. Although many users are using haptic technology and its applications in their daily life through their smart phones, most of them are unaware of the meaning of haptic concepts in the technical world. An initial survey demonstrated that around 86% of smart phone users are not aware of haptic technology concepts although they are exposed to it frequently during their phone usage. Consequently, we introduced basic haptic technology concepts to non-specialized users through three proposed edutainment games in order to enhance their knowledge and experience about haptic. We argue that adding haptic feedback feature to classic games will prove the potential of using haptic feedback as an edutainment tool. HaptiMemo game is one of the proposed games that have been implemented. The preliminary testing and evaluation of the game has shown its ability to provide useful information about haptic feedback in an entertaining form. It shows that integrating haptic feedback with memory games has a potential impact on player's ability to find matching items.
