This tablet will allow users to feel [realistic textures through the screen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tactile-sensing-infrastructure). For those who are wondering how a flat screen can replicate the [feel of a 3D object](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trackpad), it's quite simple. The tablet uses Ultrasonic waves right above the screen, which affects the amount of friction on the tablet. So given the object on the screen, the tablet can adjust and give a realistic interpretation of the image, not only visually but physically as well. The Fujitsu tablet is still being worked on and so far some of the aspects work better than others. According to someone from Re/Code, things like strumming a harp on the device are spot on. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 10% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Multimedia](https://www.trendhunter.com/multimedia) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Tactile Technology:** Opportunity for innovating touchscreens to provide realistic tactile experiences through friction adjustment. - **Multisensory Interaction:** Opportunity for developing devices that engage multiple senses, such as touch and sight, for enhanced user experience. - **Haptic Feedback:** Opportunity for creating devices with haptic feedback technology to simulate textures and enhance user engagement. ### Where This Applies - **Consumer Electronics:** Opportunity for consumer electronics manufacturers to integrate tactile technology into their devices to differentiate their products. - **Gaming:** Opportunity for the gaming industry to incorporate multisensory interaction and haptic feedback technology to create more immersive gaming experiences. - **Healthcare:** Opportunity for healthcare industry to utilize tactile technology and haptic feedback in medical training simulators or rehabilitation devices for improved sensory feedback. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Paper-Inspired Drawing Tablets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xencelabs-pen-tablet.md) - [Fluid-Filled Tactile OLED Screens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flat-panel-haptics.md) - [Impairment-Accessible Tablets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dot-pad.md) - [Content-Creation Touchscreen Tablets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/touchscreen-tablet.md) - [Immersive 3D Imagery Tablets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lume-pad-2.md) - [Tactile Interactive Music Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yamaha.md) - [Color E-Paper Tablets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/note-a1-nxtpaper.md) - [Paper-Like Design Tablets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tcl-nxtpaper-12-pro.md) - [Fashionable Desktop Design Tablets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wondlet-graphics-tablet.md)
