A Japanese firm on Wednesday unveiled a system that enables you to feel "the shape and softness" of three-dimensional images using a sensor-loaded glove. <\/font><\/p>\n

The "tangible 3D" system creates graphics that seem to burst out of a screen and has a glove that allows users to "feel" them, according to NTT Comware, the software development unit of telecom giant Nippon Telegraph and Telephone. <\/font><\/p>\n

Without any need for awkward 3D glasses, users could feel a far-away object as if it were right in front of them, NTT said at a virtual reality exhibition. <\/font><\/p>\n

The developer was exploring commercial applications which could include video phones, said engineer Shiro Ozawa. <\/font><\/p>\n

"You would be able to take the hand, or gently pat the head, of your beloved grandchild who lives away from you," he said. <\/font><\/p>\n

If a person linked to the system moves in another place, his or her three-dimensional image also moves in real-time. The user would feel as if they were being pulled along if the image moves while grasping your hand. <\/font><\/p>\n

The dead could also be "resurrected" by the system and museum visitors could "touch" precious exhibits sealed in showcases, the firm said. <\/font><\/p>\n
