Microsoft
Research is developing a prototype of a haptic feedback touch screen called
TouchMover, IEEE Spectrum reports.
The robotic
system behind a curtain pushes back with a pressure that reflects the physical
properties of virtual objects on the screen.
Researchers
uploaded a full set of MRI brain scans and demoed how doctors might scroll
through them and annotate specific slides.
Wth some
additional programming, the researchers could also make the TouchMover provide
haptic feedback based on the material properties and texture of the skull bone
and pulpy brain tissue, making the screen feel like palpating an actual brain.
