Abstract :
A system is proposed which enables users not only to operate computers by moving their fingers in midair but also to feel touch feedback on their fingers. The system consists of a PC, a marker-less hand tracker for input, and a noncontact tactile display for feedback. The tactile display utilizes ultrasound to produce tactile stimulation from a distance. The principles of the tactile display are described and the developed prototype system is introduced.
