Touchscreen that allows you to physically feel the textures shown on screen [Video]

Now here is a technology I was not aware even existed. A company called Senseg has manufactured a new type of touchscreen that will actually allow you to feel a variety of virtual surfaces on your fingertip.

This is a whole lot different from haptic feedback which uses moving parts to vibrate a device this actually changes surface friction under your finger to correspond with the texture being displayed on screen.The applications of such technology are immense and virtually unlimited. Naturally, this will be super helpful to blind people helping them read braille, game designers will make their games much more fun and interesting.
