Stuff That’s Cool: Touch-Feedback Technology [VIDEO]

Have you ever been playing a game or watching something on your smartphone or tablet, and wished you could actually feel what was on the screen, in addition to seeing it? Yeah, me too!

Senseg recently revealed a way to make this fantasy a reality for all us kinesthetic folks. By manipulating electrostatic fields, this new technology can make a tablet's touchscreen feel like it has texture! Patterned, abrasive, rounded, silky, ANYTHING! I know, my jaw hit the floor too.

The new Senseg texture technology uses no moving parts and makes no physical changes to the tablet's screen, and its hoped the new technology will filter down to main stream tablets within the next two years or so.
