Like a child tapping glass at a toy store window display, the creators of Tactus Technology have felt a rift between finger and device since 2007, when Apple dropped the touch-screen veil over its devices and denied consumers the feeling of total manual domination. Perhaps seeing that child in all of us, Tactus developed Tactile Layer Technology, whose “Microfluidics” integrate a dynamic interface onto the device, from which buttons of various shapes and sizes can grow.
