C. Uses technology allowing humans to interact with a computer through bodily sensations and movements.

Explanation:

Haptics is the science where users communicate with computers through touch or a physical sensation. Haptic interfaces are systems that use body movements and sensations to interact with a computer program.

A major component of haptic technology is the presence of an input/output device. Virtual reality environments are usually used by haptic interfaces because a user can interact with virtual elements and objects.

For instance, when playing a table tennis game, a haptic interface hand band can be used to physically control the movements of the table tennis bat in the virtual environment.
