A controller developed at Carnegie Mellon University allows computer users to manipulate three-dimensional images and explore virtual environments not only through sight and sound, but by using their sense of touch.
The device, expected to be used mainly for research, training and industrial purposes, comes close to the sensitivity of the human hand.
Using magnetic fields, the socalled haptic device replicates the response a hand might have to textures and gravitational forces, the devices convey the sense of touch.

The set employs the latest in hot-spot technology, five times faster than your typical Starbucks-style WiFi network. HD broadcasts look just as eerily crisp as they would on a hardwired setup, and won't suffer any embarrassing load-time debacles. The base station, which can be thoughtfully tucked out of view, has enough input outlets for an army of little black boxes, so the ports that mar the seamless look of other TVs have, like so many vestigial organs, been phased out. And at a top-of-the-line 1080p resolution, the blacks are as inky as deep space. For eyes accustomed to iPhone-size wireless screens, Samsung's latest is a vision of the future that has materialized—conveniently—just in time for the play-offs.
