To recreate the tactile sensation

To demonstrate the capabilities of the "aerotactile" system, the scientists launched an interactive projection of a basketball. The tactile sensations provided by the air currents are modulated based on the virtual surface of the ball. Thanks to this, you can feel its rounded shape when rotating it on your fingers.

Users can even push the virtual ball with different forces, which will give different sensations. Even a seemingly simple movement like tossing a ball required a lot of effort to simulate the physics of the movement and recreate the familiar feeling with the help of airflow.

What's next?
The scientists probably won't be presenting a full-fledged version czech republic number data of the holodeck from Star Trek anytime soon. However, they are already working on new features. For example, the ability to change the temperature of the air flow to transmit the touch of hot and cold surfaces. In addition, the team wants to add smells to deepen the illusion of virtual objects.

As the system develops, researchers expect it to find applications in various sectors, such as video games and teleconferencing.
