Active Haptic Exploration There are two types of haptic interface with any environment, be it physical, or virtual. One is active haptic exploration, the other is passive haptic exploration. If we are to successfully reproduce these two types in VR, the differences are worth noting. Below, we offer a selection of links from our resource databases which may match this term.

A comparison. Two women, both with prosthetic limbs. On the left, a standard prosthetic. On the right, a haptic prosthetic giving touch feedback. Who can complete the task faster, and is there much difference? 
 An interesting little quote from Mona Lisa Overdrive which provides brain fodder to chew on for the future of haptic (touch) interfaces.
One of the severe problems with haptic input devices (other than the very, very basic type that jack directly into the nervous system) is that the mechanics of hand-held systems only bend or push so far, then they hit engineered limits and the feeling dissipates. World Review: Active Worlds
 AW itself is made up of a collection of worlds, sharing the same graphical base, yet it manages to maintain cohesion as a 'worldlet' of sorts itself.
