  The sooner this comes to market the better

    Probably patented by Disney, so don't expect too much breadth/variety in the market. Also, is this safe?

      > Also, is this safe? I think this is probably pretty safe, at least from an electrical perspective. One thing I would be curious about though is if there any possibility that this could cause known vibration disorders like white finger[0].

  This, layers on top of a pressure sensitive screen, could very well provide the building blocks for the Star Trek UI. The pressure sensitivity is important, as it will allow the screen to tell the difference between a searching touch (looking for the edge of a button) and the pushing finger (trying to perform an action).
