But a new development from the lab could completely change the way we use touchscreens by adding realistic tactile feedback to the 3D images displayed.
In a new video (see above), Disney Research shows off a process it calls “rendering 3D tactile features on touch surfaces.” For the project, the researchers used an electrovibration-based display and a new algorithm developed in-house
