| The key to a sense of touch in VR might be sound, ironically – a team working out of the University of Bristol in the UK (via New Scientist) have worked out an improved version of haptic tech that can use high-frequency sound emitters to mimic the effect of touching a physical object, without any physical object present.
Researcher Ben Long and his team at the university had already created a system by which sound could produce a sensation of physical touch, using speakers that produce waves that impact a user’s skin enough to exert a sense of pressure. |
