Within the last decade we went from normal keypads to touch screens on almost all things technology. Smart phones, tablets, and even laptops have the ability for the screen to be touched and utilized through various applications.
although we have never considered making these have feedback when you touch the screen to close an app, feel a photo, play a game and touching the icons or move your mouse cursor. A branch of the Walt Disney company has been putting that into work with touch screens that not only let you see and hear, but also feel.
Ivan Poupyrev, the principle research scientist at disney's interaction group says "Touch screen on mobile devices, tablets, laptops, tables and walls. Everything will be touch sensitive in the future and we need tactile feedback to make it more useful and usable."
I really like this idea, this could be used to advance security measures and make living more interactive and livable. I think this could also be used in the opposite as well; perhaps like a artificial tactile feeling to a robot, which could make androids more life-like and believable to be human. But as a form to make things more real through a screen, I think it s great idea, which can just make technology more fun to use.
