Texas Instruments (formerly TIRIS)

Source of information for antennas, readers, tags.
Piezos MSIUSA Information about piezos and what you can do with them.
 
numerical analysis, controls and modeling
These are mainly Matlab tutorials. Matlab is extremely useful for modeling and understanding the physical systems you're trying to render haptically; Simulink is great for modeling and prototyping the control when it gets at all complex. Matlab is available on many CS department machines. Google for many more and recent tutorials on any topic.
Ed Colgate, Northwestern Matlab Primer for getting started
U Mich / CMU Mechanical Engineering Controls Tutorials and Modeling Tutorials for Matlab and Simulink modeling & controls tutorials for matlab newbies (and others who possibly want a refresher)...
