HDTVs used for virtual reality project to "feel" 3D images
As the world becomes used to viewing digital content in three dimensions, scientists are working on ways that we can reach out and "touch" them as well. A group of researchers at the University of California, San Diego, for example, is working on a solution -- called Heads-Up Virtual Reality (HUVR) -- that combines a 3D HDTV, a half-silvered mirror, and a touch-feedback device so the user can manipulate a projected image like it was a real object.
