As well as making screens you can feel , Disney Research is also developing tactile equipment that does n't require any actual contact at all -- like an Xbox Kinect , but where you feel as though you can touch objects in front of you in thin air . Researchers are working on allowing you to ' feel ' objects in mid - air . Current technology uses bursts of air , with students experimenting with them . New touchscreens also offer user feedback . Inventions point to a future where you can feel technology in new ways .
