Abstract
Current technology does not allow users to experience tactile interaction with objects displayed on screens, limiting the sense of immersion and realism. This disclosure describes a display screen with built-in hardware that enables simulating the touch of real-world objects that are displayed on-screen. The hardware can include a set of tiny actuators, surface-shape change technology such as microfluidics or materials that can change shape in response to electrostatic activation, and force feedback via use of piezoelectric materials. One or more of haptic feedback, shape change, and force feedback can be activated to provide users with a touch sensation that simulates the touch of a real-world object.
