NAIST announces i3Space technology - Review

Japan’s National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) just announced this new technology that they have been working on. Dubbed i3Space, this will allow people to experience 3D on their television sets in a way they have never done so before.

Six motion-detector cameras are used to monitor the viewer's fingers and tiny clips attached to their index fingers vibrate when they 'touch' an image.

A spokesman said: "This system recognises the user's behaviour and offers tactile feedback and the illusion of using the tactile sense of force. It is the first time you can feel images in the air."
The team believes i3Space could be useful for surgeons to practise techniques before an operation and also has great potential in gaming. Perhaps one day it could even make a Star Trek-style 'holodeck' a reality.
Just imagine how awesome your gaming experience will be if i3Space were supported by your favorite gaming platform? 😀
