Toshiba and Senseg reveal touchscreen with electrotactile feedback

Posted on Saturday, August 14 2010 @ 23:00 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck

Toshiba and Senseg are working on a new E-Sense technology that promises to deliver tactile feedback for touchscreens:

Current touchscreens don't offer much in the way of tactile feedback, but that could change thanks to E-Sense technology developed by Senseg and Toshiba. E-Sense runs current through surface-mounted electrodes to simulate texture, pressure, and pin pricks. This "electrotactile" array can be embedded in LCD screens, touchpads, and even curved surfaces, according to robotics news portal Hizook.
