I'm sure it won't be long before this is used for something more intense than hugging.

I can't wait to be able to kiss my friends and family goodbye after a Skype chat.

Heh, who needs vi4gra when one can have an ultrasound touch [1]. Given the right modulation and frequency, I bet it can be very effective.

This is really cool, the illusion is honestly fantastic.

I love how the "inputs" mirror the way they do, just like the image itself.

Its funny, I had the exact opposite reaction. My 60 year old tech illiterate mother used the same illusions in haunted houses 10 years ago. The "feeling" part is amazing but the illusion, not so much.

I look forward to seeing it malfunction on the next season of Silicon Valley.

Wow. Very neat technology integration. And the "box" concept effect make this realistic & viable as a commercial product. I'll definitively buy one (two pieces).
