Ooooh, 8 “haptic input device” companies on the show floor…

flips somemore

Some of the talks and posters…

• A Ball-Type Vibro-Tactile Space Mouse Using One Web Camera
• An Electrical Muscle Stimulation Haptic Feedback for Mixed-Reality Tennis Game
• Meshless Visual and Haptic Interaction From a Real-Time Depth Image

Emerging Technologies…

• Fibratus Tactile Sensor (capable of sensing ‘gentle’ touch)

• Freqtric Game (Human skin contact as game controller)

• Gravity Grabber (Wearable Haptic Display to Present Virtual Mass Sensation)

• Haptic Telexistence

• Microsoft Surface (Ok so there’s not much haptic here but I have this whole thing about Surface displaying nude people while I eat off of it so I can act like I’m eating at one of those sushi places where you eat off a nude person except like I can be eating buffalo wings out of the freezer or something…. yeah.)
