Touchable Holography

Great research presented a couple of days ago at SIGGRAPH'2009. Two researchers from the University of Tokyo created a tactile device capable of producing stress fields in 3D space. Combined with 3D stereoscopic displays, this device provides high-fidelity tactile feedback for the interaction with 3D visual objects.
