Virtual yet tactile is the new sensation in the field of touch technology and controls, courtesy of the RWTH Aachen University, Germany, which has developed the Silicone Illuminated Active Peripherals abbreviated as SLAP. These widgets are made out of plastic and silicone objects that appear implicit but can be felt on touching the interface.
These widgets are not only tangible; they can even be maneuvered for the parts relayed through a projector are actually physical. Such kind of technology can help precise causes such as locating a frame in a video where physical input devices score above the elusive ones. The package includes an iSkin keyboards protector in addition with some specially designed widgets.
