A little demo on @SkyNews of the haptic feedback device from @ucl @UCLEngineering colleagues @H_Wurdemann and @Sariadela_abad et al
Ever wanted to touch a loved one’s hand during a call?
Scientists at @ucl have developed a device that closely mimics the sense of touch across the internet
They show us how it works
