All 19 presentations are accessible on-demand in the virtual platform from 6 December 2021 to 11 March 2022.
Out of which, 13 Emerging Technologies will have physical exhibits onsite in Hall E, Tokyo International Forum from 15 - 17 December 2021.
Live demonstrations and Q&As for the respective presentations will be taking place at the specified Date/Time below.


Description: In this demonstration, we develop a midair haptic-optic display with multi-tactile texture using focused ultrasound. In this system, participants can touch aerial 3D images with a realistic texture without wearing any devices. The realistic textures are rendered by simultaneously presenting vibration and static pressure sensation using ultrasound.
