In SIGGRAPH technology conference, Japanese scientists [[Tomohiro Amemiya]] and [[Hiroaki Gomi]] demonstrated 2 [[Force display]] devices: [[Traxion]] and [[Buru-Navi3]]. When held, these devices can cause push and pull sensations while vibrating in place. | In SIGGRAPH technology conference, Japanese scientists [[Tomohiro Amemiya]] and [[Hiroaki Gomi]] demonstrated 2 [[Force display]] devices: [[Traxion]] and [[Buru-Navi3]]. When held, these devices can cause push and pull sensations while vibrating in place. The force these devices generate is strong enough to guide a blind person.<ref>http://www.technologyreview.com/news/528886/could-force-illusions-help-wearables-catch-on/</ref> | ||
Buru-Navi3 is a wine-cork sized device that contains a 40-hertz electromagnetic actuator. When held between 2 fingers, it creates a force illusion in towards or away from the user. | Buru-Navi3 is a wine-cork sized device that contains a 40-hertz electromagnetic actuator.
