Some notable items include:
- AIREAL: Interactive Tactile Experiences in Free Air. This paper by a team from University of Illinois and Disney Research. AIREAL is a tactile feedback device that delivers effective and expressive tactile sensations in free air, without requiring the user to wear a physical device. Combined with interactive graphics applications, AIREAL enables users to feel virtual objects, experience free-air textures and receive haptic feedback with free-space gestures.
