Now, 'feel' images on your smartphone

WASHINGTON: Smart phone users can now 'feel' pictures and things seen on their touchscreen!

In a game-changing innovation, technicians at Disney Analysis, Pittsburgh, have developed a new strategy that allows you to experience the structure of things seen on a flat touchscreen display.

The novel criteria allows a individual moving a handy across a topographic map shown on a touchscreen display to experience the lumps and shapes of mountains and valleys, despite the screen's sleek area.

The strategy is based on the fact that when a individual slips a handy over a actual actual physical push, he thinks the push mostly because horizontal rubbing causes expand and pack epidermis on the moving handy.

By changing the rubbing experienced as a person's finger slides across a area, the Disney criteria can make a perception of a 3D push on a contact area.

The method can be used to imitate the experience of a wide range of things and designs.

"Our mind thinks the 3D push on a area mostly from information that it gets via epidermis extending," said Ivan Poupyrev, who guides Disney Analysis, Pittsburgh's Connections Group.

"Therefore, if we can synthetically expand epidermis on a handy as it slips on the touchscreen display, the mind will be misled into thinking an actual push is on a touchscreen display even though the contact area is completely sleek," Poupyrev said in a declaration.



In tests, scientists used electrovibration to regulate the rubbing between the moving handy and the contact area with electrostatic causes.

Researchers created and verified a psychophysical design that closely mimics rubbing causes recognized by the human handy when it slips over a actual push.

The design was then integrated into an criteria that dynamically modulates the frictional causes on a moving handy so that they match the responsive properties of the visible material shown on the touchscreen display along the finger's path.

A wide range of visible relics thus can be dynamically enhanced with responsive reviews that adapts as the visible display.



"The traditional approach to responsive reviews is to have a collection of processed results that are replayed whenever a particular interaction occurs," said Ali Israr, a Disney Analysis, Pittsburgh research professional who was the lead on the project.

"This makes it difficult to make a responsive reviews for powerful visible material, where the sizes and alignment of features constantly change. With our criteria we do not have one or two results, but a set of manages that make it possible to tune responsive results to a specific visible doll on the fly," Israr said.

The new information will be presented at the ACM Symposium on User User interface Software and Technology in St Andrews, Scotland.
