Disney develops way to 'feel' touchscreen images

Just seen this appear on the BBC website. Another interesting piece of technology from the Disney Research folks - remember the musical plants, which, like that, is technology you could feasibly see in the parks at some point.

A video of the technology being demonstrated, with plenty jargon, here:

Amazing.

Great video, but Disney didn't "invent" this at all.

There was some talk about haptic coming to Apple products at some point.

I know Disney did not invent this but I am glad to see that Disney Research is ahead of the game when it comes to see some research. I wish some of this would come to the parks. OR even better if they would show off Disney Research at Innovations.
