I'm just itching for haptic feedback. I read about mobile-phone screens that
have the capacity to simulate a clicking feel, so a flat screen pushes back
to mimic what your finger would feel if there were a mechanical button to
press.

I'd like that, but on a much larger scale. I want something the size of a
desk that lets me drag objects between the flat and the upright part of my
workstation, and lets me feel the edges of things as I push them across my
desktop with my fingers. I tried to fake it in this movie:

Does anyone out there who works on the hardware side of interaction design
want to give me an Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) for my dream? Is this 10
years off, or 20?
