The Royal Institution
Haptic technology recreates the sensation of touch through forces and vibrations. In this clip from the 2014 CHRISTMAS LECTURES “Sparks will fly: How to hack your home”, Danielle George and a young audience member experiment with haptic technology. This piece of kit recreates the feeling of touch by using tiny speakers to create precise ultrasonic vibrations and mould the shape of an object.

The Royal Institution 2017 advent calendar ‘Transmissions Through Time’ looks through the lens of CHRISTMAS LECTURES past to share the best demonstrations around the science of communication. From Attenborough and Sagan to Woollard and Fong, we revisit old favourites and find new gems to bring you a little gift of science every day in the lead up to Christmas. http://bit.ly/RiAdvent17

I am first
Here is a scientific demonstration for you: Please pick between just two drastically different shapes. You won that 50/50 chance? Well then, we practically have to accept our success…
What were we hearing then, if the vibrations were ultrasonic?
Wow. But these ultrasonic vibrations may be harmful, isn't it?
I WANT TO PLAY WITH ONE
So utterly underwhelming. Edit: "We can't hear them but he can see them." she says, after we clearly heard the demonstration and were told it'll make noise so they can't speak. What a crock of shite. I wonder how many billions of tax payers money went into this stupidity? I'm all for diversion of more funding to science and R&D, but these pie in the sky things are ridiculous. Like the tens of thousands of Portal (the video game) turrets being churned out with grant money by masters students in robotics that are so utterly crap in quality they're laughable.
There are far better demonstrations and explanations of this tech if you do a video search for ultrasonic array haptics.
amazing
Goodbye insects/bats and everything else with ultrasonic hearing.
Bee's are already out, whats next? 10bucks on the butterfly!1
Can we just merge this technology with holograms already.
Thank you and all those involved in the content, efforts and production of this channel.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to all.
May the new year bring you, your families and friends much health, wealth, happiness, safety, security, appreciation, respect and peace.
I think I saw the sun flicker a bit when the device was activated!
Wonder if he can guess the shape of my fart.
A cone or a square?
Given that a square is a two dimensional object, how would this be modelled?
I take it she means a cone or a cube.
This probably isn't faked but by the great lord harry it looks fake.
You are not supposed to put your hands in an ultrasonic jeweler cleaner when it's on as some hours later the finger joints can become very painful. I'd be concerned with prolonged exposure from this type of interface.
This is silly
Are you really sure a bit of talking would affect that?
Why are they so tiny like the ones used in the sound beam, which produce high frequencies?
I thought you can't feel much above 500 Hz? Is it doing Amplitude Modulation in order to
produce low frequencies below 500 Hz, just like the sound beam does for the audible sounds?
Her manner of speaking makes me think of how folks typically talk to those of low or questionable ability to comprehend what's being said.
Does anyone have a link to the build / research paper(s) if any related to this device?
Ps5 brought me here
They couldn't let go of him the whole time? And they had to give him the two shape options? I want to see MAGIC.
Waiting for ps5
