This has resulted in Surround Haptics – a kind of tactile technology which relies on a low-resolution grid of vibrating actuators in order to generate high-resolution, continuous, moving tactile strokes across your skin. This system is touted to deliver smooth, continuous tactile motion, somewhat equivalent to the feeling of another person dragging his/her finger across your skin. Sounds creepy?</div>
