Abstract
The creation of active tactile surfaces through electromechanical actuation is an important problem. We describe here the application of time-reversed acoustics to the creation of deformations localized in time and in space in a stretched membrane that can be touched. We discuss the basic physical and engineering tradeoffs of this approach and describe the results obtained from an experimental mock-up device.
