- Can touch feedback enhance the TV viewing experience? This project explores two scenarios in particular, the gathering and display of real-time touch data in the context of a sports broadcast (see Touch Football and Relay, below) and the creation of authored touch content (see Touching Tales, below.) This project also involved the building of a prototype touch-enhanced TV remote control, as well as the use of some pre-existing haptic and vibrotactile display displays.
