They offer new technology, they can make common touch screens more powerful, you touch the screen and you not only can give commands, you can also feel the objects you touch either if they are high, low, rugged, smooth, you can feel their textures, it's the future of the touch screen!...

    I'm still trying to fix my Smell-o-vision so it doesn't give me the sense that a cat has just peed into all of my movies.

    This is cool. I read about something like this a while ago... this could make it so you could control stuff from your tixel-touch screen right in your pocket without even having to glance at it! Seems like it might make using technology while driving safer since it could be designed to not require sight at all! And the applications for the visually impaired are, well, obvious. So how long before Parallax offers a "Tixel" touch screen for us? :-) I'll buy one!

    That is awesome, this could be the future of touch screens. Now you can have a touchscreen keyboard with tactile feedback that would allow you to feel the keys, which would give a huge advantage to touchscreen keyboards! I can't wait to see this used in a consumer device, even if it does take years. Hopefully Android picks it up first, I could use an upgrade. :)

    And a Braille Kindle (A Brindle?), (Google) Braille Street Maps (Blaps?). And a sharp, painful 'reminder' when you press the wrong key?

    Vaporware.

    I'll believe it when they have working demos at ESC or some other big name get together, otherwise they're just another Pets.com
