Companies are only just now experimenting with the idea of bringing holograms to consumer electronics, but a group of researchers from the University of Tokyo is already bringing the technology to the next level. It’s one thing to be able to interact with holograms, or even manipulate them through augmented reality, but it’s another thing entirely to be able to actually touch holograms. That’s exactly what the researchers have enabled with the Haptoclone, which uses ultrasonic radiation pressure to simulate the sensation that you’re touching a physical object when interacting with a hologram.
