Tixel

Tixel or tactile pixel is a technology allowing for feel and touch with screens, simulations of wetness and texture, achieved using vibration and electrical fields. Senseg, a company from Finland, is developing "E-Sense" technology with tixels, allowing for the touch and feel of screen images.[1][2] The technology is also being considered to adapt flat screen for the use of blind people.[3]
