Tactus technology – haptic feedback on dynamic user interface

By Damir Beciri
12 January 2013

tactus-phone-qwertyAlthough touchscreens managed to change the way we interact with information, particularly with information on our portable devices, they provide insufficient tactile feedback. Unlike other tactile feedback technologies we previously covered, a Californian company Tactus came up with haptic feedback technology which creates physical buttons that can act as a mechanical keyboard. Tactus offers solution… »

One Comment7 August 2012

revel-mobile-arTechnology developed by Disney Research could be used to provide advanced tactile feedback to real-world surfaces and objects, including touch-screens, walls, furniture, wooden, or plastic objects, without requiring users to wear special gloves or use force-feedback devices. Named REVEL, the technology employs reverse electrovibration to create the illusion of changing textures as the user’s fingers… »

2 Comments6 August 2009

tokyouniversity-holography-2009Mid-air displays which project floating images in free space have been seen in SF movies for several decades. We wrote about technologies that contribute to the development of holograms (regarding data storage and potential interfaces that could be developed for usage with holographic technology) in our previous articles. Recently, they are attracting a lot of… »
