Disney invents touchscreen that lets you feel textures
by Caitlin Dewey, Washington Post
The company that brought you the first animated feature film and the multiplane cmaera may be at work on its most game-changing invention yet: Flat touchscreens that let you feel the shape and texture of pictured objects, almost like they were actually there.
Why This Matters: Its called tactile rendering of 3D textures. Dont go there, thats not what its for. Just a technology demo for now. -Cynthia Wisehart
