Proximity Feedback

Definition

Proximity Feedback refers to the sensory feedback given when a user’s interaction with an element is in close proximity to a specific action or target. For example, in mobile apps, proximity feedback might be a subtle vibration or sound that indicates when a user is nearing a button, making it easier to interact without precise targeting. This kind of feedback improves usability and precision in touch-based interfaces.
