The present invention relates generally to a haptic notification apparatus and method which allows a user to be notified through a haptic interface allowing notifications to be perceived by a user as coordinated sensations. Preferably, the coordinated sensations are generated by providing a plurality of conducting electrode having at least one insulator per electrode, allowing skin nerve endings of user to be stimulated via capacitive coupling over said insulator. The apparatus and method also preferably includes a sensor which is configured to sense movement or rotation in any axis and sense electronic nerve signals or pressure from muscle contractions in order to allow a user to respond to a haptic notification.
