What this source can teach
Use this source to check a technical or accessibility requirement against its exact wording and scope.
- Start with the original. Open the source and find the guidance or example relevant to your task.
- Trace the connection. Use the claim notes below to see how this site applies the source to specific patterns.
- Check the setting. Compare the source's platform, people, and constraints with your own decision.
Pattern Decisions This Source Supports
| Pattern | Supported decision | Required contract | Claim note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Haptic feedback | Choose haptic feedback when the tactile effect reinforces a visible interaction milestone and improves physical confidence without carrying required information alone. | A haptic effect plays only for a user-relevant interaction event and stays synchronized with the visible state change it reinforces. | Supports vibration pattern semantics, cancellation, security considerations, and user-agent limits. |
Comparisons supported by this source
- Haptic feedback vs touch gesture vs toast notification vs error state vs confirmation dialog vs progress bar
Supports standardized vibration patterns, cancellation, user-agent limits, and limited availability.
Evidence Role
