Tactus case makes iPad’s keyboard characters more tactile

Touchscreens are designed for tapping and swiping, but typing isn’t actually enjoyable on them. Tactus Technology is trying to change that, forever.

The startup is getting ready to release its Phorm accessory for the iPad mini — a case and screen protector mashup that enables small “finger guides” to rise out from the screen. They kind of look like buttons, but you can’t actually press them.

Fantastic video of my friends, clients and occasional drinking buddies Tactus Technology released on Reuters today. So proud to see the years of hard work on their revolutionary and hyper-impressive micro-fluidic technology finally paying off! Tactus Technology merges the tactile features of our beloved blackberry with the modern sex appeal of the iPhone. The touch screen market is only the beginning for these guys, too- the possibilities really are endless and stretch far beyond the touch screen (just think, their could be invisible buttons... everywhere!)

This is utterly amazing... someone's finally fixing my abhorrence of touch screens!  Definitely one of the most exciting innovations I have come across recently.

... an appearing and disappearing haptic feedback user interface — at a user's command, "keys" can rise out of the touchscreen to provide a tactile guide for both placement of your fingers and for feedback to confirm your selection...

The technology is based on "microfluidics" — beneath the surface of a fairly ordinary-looking touchscreen are a number of channels that can be arrange in any pattern a manufacturer desires, and a small reservoir of fluid (a special type of oil that allows the channels to be invisible, for the most part). To form the shapes of the keys, a tiny amount of fluid is pumped through the channels, which raises a deformable membrane covering the surface of the touchscreen.
