Pretty cool!!!
British company Ultrahaptics has developed technology that enables users to receive tactile sensations from invisible three-dimension (3D) objects floating in mid-air. Using ultrasound to precisely project sensations through the air, users can 'feel' and interact with virtual objects.
Professor Sriram Subramanian, who co-developed the haptic technology at the University of Bristol's Computer Science Department, explained the device applies the principles of acoustic radiation force, whereby sound waves produce forces on the skin which are strong enough to generate tactile sensations.
