iPad 3 to have tactile display? (VIDEO)

A Senseg spokesperson mentioned making Apple's logo feel embossed. Perhaps foreshadowing? I can dream, can't I? :rolleyes:

Excellent find! But I think the foreshadowing parts aren't the ones where he is mentioning Apple, but the ones where he's clearly trying to avoid doing so, haha: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_11yYgt-h84&t=6m31s

Oh man, I'm so psyched right now. I don't know what to think anymore.
The fanboy inside me screams this has to be it, but my mind tells me this is just too good to be true. But then again, this tech is friggin real, and working, and as you can see in the video above, it just blows minds. :p

But to the ones who take my theory for granted: Please stop. There's a good chance of being disappointed tomorrow. And even if, you really shouldn't be, because I think we can all agree this will be implemented in every touch device of the future. Whether it starts with the iPad 3 or later remains to be seen.
If it doesn't, it probably wasn't ready by now. But it soon will be.

Well maybe - if you like finger painting but what about painting with a brush or, heaven forbid, writing with an actual pen instead of a rubber stubbed crayon like stylus??

I think this is really cool and entertaining for sure but how useful is it compared to being able to ditch the biro and the notepad and use the iPad for everything. All my books, all my info is on my iPad now, even my notes but even with the note taking apps out there, not having a decent functioning fine tipped stylus is disappointing on a daily basis.

I dream of the day when I can write (and draw and doodle and make diagrams freehand) on my iPad with a stylus with the look and feel of a great fountain pen.

I know what Steve said and I know its probably wishful thinking, but a girl can dream :D

This would be awesome, and it is certainly plausible that they might include it in in the iPad 3 (maybe even accounting for the questionable price hike?). That said, it seems a little quick from prototype to mass market based on the way that guy was talking in the video- 12 to 24 months sounds more like an iPhone 5 introduction.

One thing I am suspicious about is that senseg has already partnered with toshiba (http://techon.nikkeibp.co.jp/english/NEWS_EN/20100513/182579/), and I feel like this is the kind offeature that apple likes to have all for themselves.

Yah and Samsung makes a tablet so there is no way they could supply screens to Apple!

It's more about speculating the future of touchscreens than it is speculating the iPad 3 in particular. I had no idea what could come next.

Today's touchscreen devices are so cool. They have accelerometers, GPS, compass, gyros, and more coming like haptic feedback.

Holy crap zweimeter, i now am actually giving the chance to have this on ipad 3 60% chance instead of 15%.
the comments from senseg are to suspicious.

I will have to break something in my house though, if it doesnt come true now.
My feeling "too good to be true" kinda disappeared.

Wow if the ipad3 has this, i will dance real hard on loudest speaker settings:D
 
Would be amazing if all these rumors were true. Unfortunately due to lack of design change many members will dismiss it for just being an "Upgrade".

Gotta go ahead and.. uh... disagree with you there professor.....

Implementing a new technology that seems this cool and that no one has used in a mass consumer product will be more than just a simple memory/CPU/software update.

Totally agree with you, man.

If this is implemented, this really is a game changer.

Retina display and this kind of touch responsive technology in one generation? Hugely exciting. And very, very cool on Apple's part for creating accessible devices for people with sensory disabilities.

I agree. People who still say "Whats the point of an iPad" are really missing the big picture.
 
I am trying really hard not to get excited about this, but it just seems like it should be in the iPad 3!

Imagine touching/feeling the wood in iBooks or the felt in game centre or even the dreaded leather in calendar... My mind is blown.

This is going to be a very long 5 hours.

Edit:
This could also be huge for apples education market.

And... GARAGEBAND WOULD BE AWESOME.

Exactly. And tactile feedback combined with the new AppleTV will spawn a whole new console gaming experience. You will be able to stream games to your TV and use the iPad as a fully capable controller. Somewhat like Wii U but with configurable buttonlayout and new forms of ingame feedback. Plus beeing able to take the game with you wherever you go.
This will even be a gamechanger for Xbox and co. and will help Apple even more breaking into the TV market.
