Scholars around the world, as well as in Chicago, are using haptics - the
science of touch - to develop touch technology that will increase access for
people with disabilities.

Some of the new technology allows people to play music with just the touch of
their fingertip or experience gravity in a video game using a special stylus.
This technology could also let you feel fabric textures while shopping online.

Some of these products were on display at Northwestern University's recent
Haptics Conference.
