I've been super excited for this space for a long time. Novel interaction ideas in the digital age seems to have a hard time breaking through (mouse and keyboard has was really a killer application). I'm wondering if a matrix of wire which could just run some very small currents through gloves onto specific sections and points on the hands could work ? (please be gentle, I haven't really researched this just a fun thought :) )

If gloves are an option then there are lots of mechanisms that can deliver tactile sensations of various types.

Mouse and keyboard killed it because they are physical objects. A touch screen or even something like this will always be a poor interface because they aren’t physically manipulable. Honestly I think we’re more likely to see a major advance from the Teledildonics people since they are actually working with real hardware and incorporating feedback mechanisms.
