Hi list, There's some movement on the haptic world, namely e-sense from senseg.
If anyone remembers, these guys have the paired with toshiba to manufacture a thin sheet of conducive and transparent material bundled with a framework to allow developers to create haptic features on any application, platform independant. Here is their site: http://senseg.com I've set up a meeting with them in TOkyo to test the ware out. I believe this can be a major breakthrough for us blind users, as one of the list's member suggested it could make a really good braille output application and save a lot of people a lot of money. I was thinking in the line of interactivity for appications, games, and making it possible to feel around schematics, diagrams and objects in space. The API holds a lot of different textures already, such as grainy, woody, rigged, slippery and rough. Just as an anecdote, i was getting my fiancée to show me how angry birds worked. Now imagine being able to play these games with haptic sensitivty :) Hoping to be able to fly overseas in January to get something constructive out of it.
