http://www.netbooknews.com/20237/touchable-3d-display-hands-on/ Japanese electronics firm NTT DoCoMo unveiled a cool new way to interact with the objects on your portable screen. The unnamed prototype device combines glassless 3D display with a physical feedback system that pushes on a magnetic pen. You hold the stylus pen near the display screen and when virtual objects want to reach out and touch you, you can feel it through forces on the pen. In this demo its a chameleon lashing its tongue out towards the pen causing a vibration. In my case its nearly caused the pen to fly out of my hand. NTT DoCoMo may want to combine their magnetic approach with other haptics. Vibrations for mild touches, solenoids and inductive coils for hard pushes, and heat/cold for those sensations.

I'm not the biggest fan of 3D I think the viewing angles are too specific but I couldn't help but share this as the demo was one of the funnest of MWC 2011.
