Microsoft's Kinect depth camera and other motion tracking devices allow you to interact with the computer, but it is still unnatural because you can feel nothing. Disney has developed a solution that enables users to experience virtual objects, experience dynamically changing textures, and receive body motion and feedback.
The new haptic technology, called AIREAL, uses compressed air control. AIREAL technology is a shell that is almost completely using 3D printing. The researchers created an air pulse as an actuator by using five 2-inch speakers, and then guided the air vortex generator through a 3D printed flexible nozzle. .
Completely assemble AIREAL equipment. In addition to the motor and speaker device, most 3D printing.
