To that end, researchers Craig Shultz and Chris Harrison with the Future Interfaces Group (FIG) at Carnegie Mellon University have created a display that can protrude screen areas in different configurations. It’s a concept we’ve seen before , but this version is thinner, lighter and more versatile. FIG’s “Flat Panel Haptics” tech can be stacked under an […]
