Haptic Feedback at the Fingertips

[@TheSektorz]

I've actually been asking myself for years why hasn't someone done this already. Since using touchscreens is quite annoying and there's no feedback at what you're "pressing" or "touching" - as she said, more mistakes are made and it feels much less pleasant than typing on my full-sized laptop keyboard here, where I feel the buttons clearly and they're comfortable. So great work, I'd like to try this.

i'm currently researching in a similar direction.

[@bermuge1]

That was cool, and very well explained. Thanks!

[@TheMedivalBlast]

This is genius! This would make typing at touch screens way better, thus requiring you less to use a physical keyboard.

[@threemoo]

I have no idea how this helps you type, or how this replaces in any way a hardware keyboard since you have to actually touch the screen to feel it anyway.... What I want this technology for is a VR suit... Actual touch feedback in a Virtual Reality world... So immersive it's scary!!

Her voice was so soothing (coming from an English speaking American). She can read me a book anytime.

I’m actually very interested to see how Playstation will pull this off with the PS5

[@joji7851]

the fact that you're commenting this on a microsoft channel XD

[@MikeTrieu]

I'm fairly certain that Electro-Active Polymer and electrostatic haptics are not in any way novel. Perhaps with the EAP, Microsoft Research found a way to get the material to actuate much quicker than previously demonstrated, but that'd have to be duplicated for me to believe it.

[@SirJoeYama]

please include this on the new surface pro model...

@Savi™ It's not when you think that a big share of their profits now is from patent licensees and sues so don't worry about them.

[@malachi5813]

Ya really well explianed that was awesome. I have allwats been intrigued by haptic tech.

[@MarcAnthonyMcMillon]

This tech is in most phones now. A good example would be the vibration in the screen after texting.... But Playstation controllers with this feedback could be eh... I wouldn't want this in a shooting/fighting game because it would happen nearly all the time. I can definitely see it in VR more.

[@RohanOrhanHaron]

Microsoft Developer, wouldn't this be easy to develop as a braille phone/tablet?

[@mrshah2043]

So does that pizo electric effect vibrate the atoms of the glass?

[@SuviTuuliAllan]

No, they use the Force for that.

[@monkey-hs1ub]

What if it’s warm glass

[@per-axelskogsberg3861]

Really cool and useful information. Thank you.

[@cesarm8467]

New Ps5 controller will have this...huh

[@AugustoBaptista]

Oww... Hong Tan, the next Avatar bending glasses... About batteries? It uses ultrasound? Our animals could live near that?

[@EarvinCorona]

laughed on this one hahaha

[@toniawindsor9315]
