Revel, Tactile Touch Response — Sounds Dirty — #REVEL #Touch #Disney
Revel is a new type of tactile touch technology that can allow people to experience different sensation on various real world items. For example imagine a poster for an action movie, different part of the image could have different sensations, an explosion for example may feel hot to touch.
Personally I dont think this will take off for people in the real world as you must inject electrodes into your body which will interact with a contacts in items in the real world. I tend to find just touch things myself will usually let me feel the different parts…duh.
“REVEL is a new wearable tactile technology that modifies the user’s tactile perception of the physical world. Current tactile technologies enhance objects and devices with various actuators to create rich tactile sensations, limiting the experience to the interaction with instrumented devices. In contrast, REVEL can add artificial tactile sensations to almost any surface or object, with very little if any instrumentation of the environment. As a result, REVEL can provide dynamic tactile sensations on touch screens as well as everyday objects and surfaces in the environment, such as furniture, walls, wooden and plastic objects, and even human skin.”
