McGill University's Haptics Lab

I recently discovered that very good research on haptics and tactile simulation is conducted in my hometown (Montreal, Canada). McGill University's Haptics Lab has been studying the touch sense and building really interesting prototypes over the last few years. Some of their newer devices and projects are directly in line with my degree project. Their THMB device looks particularly interesting: they are investigating the use of tactile simulation and feedback in a modile device.
I contacted them yesterday and I am very happy to report that I will able to visit the Lab at McGill next month. I can't wait to see their work in person and hopefully have a chat with the researchers. Touching is believing!
