This feature predates the explainer era, but its MDN entry serves as a good starting point.

Other comments:

Due to complexity of revising a Recommendation under the old process, TR for this specification did not receive these latest updates informed by implementation experience, but they were incorporated into the Editor's Draft instead. This caused some unfortunate confusion among readers not closely watching the specification. To clear this confusion, supported by reinvigorated interest and process improvements for revising a Recommendation, this API is now being revived on the Recommendation Track to allow bringing the updates from the ED back to TR and to allow for further improvements using the modern streamlined publication flow.

Thank you for your review!

@newtonsgroove, we look forward to your feedback. Our plan is to publish a CRS shortly and we'd be happy to incorporate any accessibility considerations you may have in the CRS, or in a future update if you need more time.

We've received positive feedback from the disabled community for this API as noted in the Accessibility Checklist w3c/vibration#37. That project and context may be of interest to you.

Thank you for your contributions!

Hi @anssiko. We discussed the API on our APA WG call today and may have a comment for you next week (if it has consensus). Don't let us hold up publication in the meantime. We look forward to providing input soon, or later on for a future version.

@matatk thanks for confirming this review does not block the CRS publication.

We look forward to integrating a11y considerations into any of the future versions.

Hi @anssiko. We filed an issue as the result of our review. I think it's OK to close this thread now, as the other issue will be tracked automatically for us. Thanks for your review request, and we look forward to continuing to work with you.
