iFeelPixel™ is an universal application designed to create audio-tactile and visio-tactile sensations based on pictures elements. Use this while using your desktop computer, playing games, watching websites, or simply leave it running in the background while using any Windows program. Any pictures elements generated by your computer and being under your cursor position on screen, will be represented with a subjective audio-tactile sensation on an Immersion TouchSense device and a sound card.

It's the first multimodal software that allows a user to feel the pixels on the screen with haptic feedback, visual feedback and auditory feedback. There are infinite possibilities...let's explore the senses of touch, vision and hearing! It works in parallel with existing access technology.

Novint Falcon Referral: ifeelpixel

iFeelPixel and Novint develop 3D haptic technology and products that enable people to experience a realistic sense of touch using their computer. Using our 3D haptic interface device, the Novint Falcon, and patented 3D haptic software, computer users may feel 3D objects, feel their shapes and textures, feel the dynamic properties of objects, and feel many other effects. The Novint Falcon gives force feedback through interchangeable handles that a user holds on to. Forces are created through the use of 3 electrical motors, 1 motor connected to each of the 3 arms in the device. The 3 arms connect to the device’s handle. The Novint Falcon is, essentially, a small robot, yet its industrial design is something that consumers will enjoy having on their desktop. Although it gives extremely complex 3D haptic interactions, it is beautiful in its fundamental simplicity and elegance.
