Katherine Kuckenbecker is a chemical engineering professor at the University of Pennsylvania. Her favorite hobby is photography and she's always wanted to share and record how these objects feel to touch, but she hasn't been able to have that ability. It seems kind of surprising because the sense of touch is involved in every physical interaction you do every day, every manipulation task and anything you do in the world. The sense of touch has two main components. The first is tactile, things you feel in your skin. The second is kinesthetic, how your body is moving and the forces you encounter. Katherine wants to make technology better by improving interactive touch technology called haptic photography.
I got fascinated at this topic because I never really knew much about touch and touch technology or in this case haptics. I agree that it's kind of surprising that we can't share and record how these objects feel considering how important touch is in our lives. Before I watched this Talk, I didn't know what haptic photography was and I'm happy that I've learned a little bit about it. I have always been interested in technology and how it can improve the world. I hope that I can learn more about technology and help improve it for the better of the world someday.
I hope more people will join in and take action in improving the world of technology for the better. You should check out this Talk and see what interests you because you never know what interesting things you'll find.
