The latest addition for the techno geeks, Japan Develops touchable 3d Tv technology. “It is the first time that you can feel images in the air,” said Norio Nakamura, senior scientist with the research team at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology. “You can have the sense of touch like poking a rubber ball or stretching a sticky rice cake” when manipulating images, he said.

The technology changes the shape of three-dimensional images in response to “touches”, aided by cameras that monitor how the fingers move, Nakamura said.”This technology could create a virtual museum where visitors, including vision-impaired people, can put their hands on valuable sculptures that are usually untouchable,” Nakamura said.
