Electrovibration Technology: The Touch and Feel of It
Electrovibration technology will change the mobile touchscreen
experience dramatically. You will be able to feel different kinds of
texture. I know what you are thinking. The online shopping experience
will go notches higher. Imagine shopping for clothes online without
worrying about the texture and quality of the cloth.
Disney researchers have been working intensively on developing touchscreens that let you
feel texture. While electrovibration technology should have become a
reality by now, there have been some delays in the process. However,
tech experts say that 2017 will herald the arrival of electrovibration
technology on a large scale across touchscreen devices. It works on the
phenomenon that, through electrostatic charges, your brain is tricked
into feeling texture simply by touching the device’s screen. Apple has
also been working in electrovibration technology and has filed several
patents related to the technology.This advancement can also lead to socially beneficial trends. For
instance, blind people can use it for Braille, and access smartphones
like everybody else.
