The application relates to a haptic system comprising a haptic device that has an end effector terminal and a transmission structure which can generate a translational movement as an output variable, said translational movement extending from the transmission structure to the end effector terminal via a boom such that the end effector terminal moves in a manner that is perceptible to a user, the transmission structure being formed by means of driven linear shafts. The application further relates to a method for operating a haptic system comprising a haptic device.
