Haptics
How much you physically feel. Turn it up and every bump, vibration, and ache registers. Turn it down and the pain, tension, and discomfort fade into the background.
Ivan Lowe and the Cancer Diagnosis
Haptics measures how much physical sensation registers — how much pain, tension, and discomfort a person actually feels and absorbs. Ivan Lowe's haptics were turned all the way up: every movement felt like his bones were shattering, and the pain was so all-consuming he couldn't think straight. He made a deliberate choice to endure what he could without opioids, keeping the setting high but trying to stop it from destroying him completely.
