Project Details
- "FEELEX is a haptic-visual display composed of a flexible screen, an actuator array, and a projector that allows viewers to touch and feel the image with their bare hands. A rubber sponge and an array of rods displays the rigidity distribution of virtual objects [using measured force feedback through the actuators]."
- FEELEX was designed to convey surface tactile experiences and integrate display of visual/haptic objects instead of requiring users to integrate inputs from two different sources.
- The newest FEELEX has a high-resolution haptic surface controlled by actuator rods at 8mm spacing. This supports a 50mm x 50mm screen to touch the surface with three fingers.
