I have visited an NBA game with a big group of Japanese conference attendants (I already look like a Japanese tourist, haha)
At the conference, I have tried this demo:
The feeling of the contraction of the shape memory alloy wires on my fingers was quite interesting. See the picture below - I look like thinking very deeply about it :-)
At the conference, I have tried this demo:
Tactile Feedback at the Finger Tips for Improved Direct Interaction in Immersive Environments
- Volkswagen AG, Group Research, Bauhaus-University Weimar
We present a new tactile feedback system for finger-based interactions in immersive virtual reality applications that consists of shape memory alloy wires wrapped around tracked finger thimbles. The wires touch the inside of the fingertips and provide an impression when they are shortened. We use this system to communicate finger contacts with virtual objects in a demonstration application.

Ah, das ist doch der ART Handschuh über den wir eh schon mal geredet haben. Und, wie ist das taktile feedback so?
schlecht ist:
der momentane prototyp macht zu schwache kraefte. das feedback fuehlt sich eher an wie ein windhauch am fruehlingsabend...
gut ist:
im vergleich zu anderen taktilen devices scheint mir dieses hier eine hoehere resolution zu bieten.
was ich nicht weiss:
was ist die maximale kraft, die man mit dieser konstruktion erzeugen kann? davon haengt wohl die bewertung dieser idee ab...
