Haptic interfaces allow users to feel various data components that lend themselves to touch or heat sensations. Luckily, a device called the Phantom Haptic Interface invented by SenSable Technologies of Cambridge, Massachusetts, will give you the odd sensation of touching something you can see but can't actually touch. For a mere $19,500, consumers can buy a personal haptic interface device known as PHANToM. |
