Tokyo Scientists Create Touchable Hologram
August 8, 2009 by: My WayA team of Japanese scientists has finally created holograms you can touch.
Using ultrasonic waves to provide the resistance and tactile presence, the hologram simulates the sensation of rain drops or a small ball, all without interfering with the projected 3-D image. A couple of Wiimotes provide the tracking, and the programing provides the fun.
There’s really nothing I can write that will be as cool or explanatory as the video above, so you might as well just start walking it while you day dream about a veldt or Danger Room of your own.
