Airborne Ultrasound Tactile Display

This is an exceedingly interesting demonstration from Shinodalabs, demonstrating a method to interact with virtual objects in open space. Feedback is also provided, allowing the user to “feel” the object as they interact with it.

I would be very interested in seeing this type of technology adapted into immersive environments, such as a CUBE or motion capture environment. Imagine bumping into a table! Just don’t try to sit in the chair!
