Computer scientists led by a team from the University of Bath have revealed an innovation they dub HydroHaptics. They say the new technology enables “expressive, two-way communication,” between the user and a range of devices. The soft malleable HydroHaptic sensor is a natural fit for a deformable computer mouse, gaming, or wearables, reckon the development team. Moreover, intuitive input devices using this tech can offer tactile feedback without impacting their soft, flexible characteristics.
