TECHTILE toolkit / Yasuaki Kakehi
Kouta Minamizawa (JP), Yasuaki Kakehi (JP), Masashi Nakatani (JP), Soichiro Mihara (JP) and Susumu Tachi (JP) have been working for a considerable time now on the development of haptic interfaces and technology to thereby add a third medium – in addition to audio and video – to the creative repertoire available to digital art and design. To precisely describe what they’re after, Kakehi & Co. have coined the term “techtile,” a portmanteau word that combines “technology” and “tactile.”
