One of the most sought-after new features on mobile devices is the touch screen. But that name is a misnomer, according to a group of researchers at Northwestern University, in Evanston, Ill., who point out the obvious that these displays offer minimal ­tactile feedback. But suppose touch screens could touch you back: You could “feel,” say, the edges of the buttons on a virtual keypad or the links on a Web page. They call it the Tactile Pattern Display, or TPaD.    (source: spectrum.ieee.org)
