Magnetic levitation gives computer users sense of touch
Those wily computer geeks at Carnegie Mellon (who for my money, have it all over the MIT ubergeeks) have moved us all closer to a “perfect” machine interface with the development of a maglev feedback mouse. Dr. Ralph Hollis’s affordable mouse uses 6 coils of wire and […]
Nokia has made a great leap in the world of haptic technology- touch feedback. They have created a touch screen that touches back! Using piezo technology, the screen “jostles” your fingers (.1 mm, hardly a big whack, but enough apparently), along with a click sound, to give you the feedback that you actuated the key.

The physics of a golf swing is probably the most scientifically studied sports action ever. Recently, some scientists developed a system which translates the different variables of the swing into audio cues. For example, a slow swing corresponds to a low pitch and a fast swing to a high pitch. In addition, […]
