Six motion-detector cameras are used to monitor the viewer's fingers and tiny clips attached to their index digits vibrate when they 'touch' an image. The multiple cameras are angled so that there are no blind spots. The breakthrough i3Space device was developed by scientists at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology or what is so called AIST, in Japan.
A spokesman said that this system recognises the user's behaviour and offers tactile feedback and the illusion of using the tactile sense of force. It is the first time where you can feel images in the air. That sounds so amazing to happen. In a demonstration given on Wednesday, a 3D image of the Earth was squished like a soft rubber ball and then stretched wide across the screen.
This Japan's idea is actually connected with iPad's invention. The announcement of the iPad on January 27, 2010 has changed the technology world forever. This computer device that is driven by the touch of your finger is amazing and has generated a lot of hype, disappointment, and respect from customers all over the world.
Such condition is also the same with a thing where you can change the computer screen by using your hands, this idea was einvented by Toshiba and the AirSwing. The natural user interfaces aren't exactly new, but they are pretty unique to use and to see, and we don't need to pay for expensive hardware or purchase all these additional software programs to make it work correctly.
