"Nearby flying seagulls"...

Yeah, we're living in an airy fairy future, all right. Get the gulls around here doing that, and you'll get tactic feedback stuck all over your clothes.
The mechanism is lame, but using air to provide haptics is pretty sweet. Perhaps we'll get some good stuff out of this in time. I'm still waiting for my projected keyboard to feel like a Topre:

It has limited application because it only works when the computer knows in advance what is going to happen. Like 3D balls moving towards you. But if it would project two big buttons, and you wave at one, the reaction time will be too slow to provide real-time feedback.

ahh thats right, so you need "n" number of those things, or a whole wall full of them!

That won't cure reaction time.

He doesn't mean the reaction of the mechanism for x/y rotation but the delay until the air reaches your body.

Ahhhh, now I got it! Thanks for the explanation!
