flag A new fingertip device simulates real textures on touchscreens using electrostatic forces with 81% accuracy.

flag A new wearable fingertip device called VoxeLite, developed by researchers including Dr. James Colgate and Sylvia Tan, allows users to feel textures on touchscreens using electrostatic forces. flag The thin, soft device creates localized pressure on the skin via tiny nodes, simulating real materials like leather and corduroy with up to 81% accuracy. flag It operates without moving parts, works seamlessly in passive mode, and could enhance virtual reality, assistive tools for the visually impaired, and online shopping. flag The technology, published in Science Advances, combines high-resolution tactile feedback with long-term wearability, marking a major advance in digital touch interfaces.
