Touchscreens that Touch Back
Related Entries: Electronics
So the company behind the BMW iDrive system is now using 3M MicroTouch ClearTek touchscreen’s and rigging them for tactile feedback. This technology works with the different sizes and types of touchscreens which are mostly used on kiosks and electronic gaming devices (casino & bar-top). The user can now perceive on-screen button press and release as if they were physical buttons. The TouchSense tactile sensations can also be synchronized with sound and graphical images, giving you a more immersive experience.
Now, how do I get that on my inwall touchscreen?

Uhh.. alpine has been doing this for years. why does immersion think they own all haptic devices? why do they think they invented the off-weighted motor in every vibrating device. this is old news and immersion wants you to once again think they invented somthing they didnt. get mad at me.. i dont care.. its the truth.

I wonder if this will eventually lead to being able to read braille onscreen. That would be such a cool application of this technology.
