Ultrasound system gives virtual feeling of objects in mid-air
Bristol, England (UPI) Oct 7, 2013
Scientists in Britain say they've develop a technology that uses sound waves to create a "force field" that can simulate the feel of objects in mid-air. Researchers at Bristol University say their "UltraHaptic" system uses an array of speakers to produce waves of ultrasound aligned to produce an invisible layer of ultrasonic vibrations in the air above a computer display, which can be sensed as tactile sensation of the displayed object on the surface of human skin.
