==Force Display Devices==
In the SIGGRAPH technology conference, Japanese scientists [[Tomohiro Amemiya]] and [[Hiroaki Gomi]] demonstrated two [[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.
