Immersion’s MOTIV Haptic Development Platform
I find it interesting how they use graphics to communicate the haptic feedback qualities or signal. Worth remembering for my PhD. The sequences of users enjoying the haptic is too much. Yeap it’s the best !!! I can feel it !!! This is cool !!! It’s over the board if you ask me.
MOTIV page, demos.

A few new people I met at TEI 2011 who are working in the same domain as I do:
Seung-Chan Kim and Andrea Bianchi, both from KAIST in Korea. Petra Sundström from SICS in Stockholm.
