We’ve been exploring some ideas around what 3-dimensional visual interfaces would be like and always one of the trickiest problems is “feeling” objects in space. This new technology uses magnets and special joystick-like grips to simulate not only the size, weight, and location of objects in space, but even subtle things like texture. Obviously it has a long ways to go as we doubt monsterous magnetic pucks are in our future.
