Seeing Is Touching Technology

At the school of fundamental science and engineering,Waseda Univeristy, Professor Takashi is currently performing a research where cross-modal perception technology is used to develop multi-sensory integration where participants undergo tactile sensation from visual to experience media in a whole new way. The secret behind this technology is just right behind a pair of glasses, well a unique pair of glasses that displays an image. During this time the participant must use a transparent head-mounted display which displays an image that must be seen in space, meaning the object needs to be floating and not against something. But most importantly the object needs to make contact with some natural part of the human body such as the hands. Researchers believe this new system will be useful for patients undergoing or considering rehabilitation as well as training and education.
