Touch screens are very convenient to use, but they have one drawback - they do not have the feeling of pressing a button. Scientists have long been working to eliminate this drawback, and the Senseg company has created a new type of touch technology. Engineers used electrostatic fields to simulate tactile sensations.
Now you can feel different materials—silk, sand, stone, etc.—as you move your finger across the screen. Combined with appropriate interface elements, this could create a very impressive effect. The technology will be especially appreciated in games. Senseg already has working prototypes, but when they will reach real smartphones and tablets is unknown.
