Hey Johnny, I remember seeing this a long, long time ago when this first came out. This was one of my inspirations to pursue a BS degree in computer engineering. Thanks for being an inspiration
These kinds of technologies are the future of many industries... though the example seems simplistic and without purpose, it demonstrates the ability to virtualize surfaces. This technology can allow a doctor operating a precise robotic arm to feel changes on the operating surface, allow remote vehicle operators to have realistic feedback on their steering implements, graphics applications, or it could even be used as a video game implement.
EXACTLY! The whole point is that you are pressing buttons which you know are all just images but the experience of pressing them FEELS different because because the pen knows where it is on the screen. With what they've done, its like if you designed a system where touching different buttons would produce different noises and then to test it all you did was played the sound of a bell or a dog barking to the cast of "Good Will Hunting" and asked, "What dose that sound like?"
I could see this being used in assisted living devices for the blind. You could have an LCD screen with a braille-like feel to the buttons on that screen (on an ATM, for example). If you could create some sort of pulse-alphabet that translates these vibrations into a description of what the button does, you would emulate the tactile feedback that braille provides. Anyway, I love your videos! Keep up the good work!
i was going to suggest in some form of industrial setup, where you use a monitor and the pen instead of a larger bench of dials and controls...the varing pressure could be used for say, the stop button being harder to push then the normal buttons, to advoid accidental setting off.
now Lee can make a fussion between this pen and the wii whiteboard, maybe put a dimmer actuator or potenciometer atached to a spring that sends a variable current to the ir leds. Very nice!!
if you look at his other videos they have ways of projecting make-shift touchscreens on tons of different surfaces. a desk, a whiteboard, wall, computer screen/monitor. so breaking the screen wouldn't be an issue there.
That is pretty awsome! You know what you should do? (keep in mind I don't even know if this would work) but the very tiny vibrations caused by a pen or pencil going across a peice of paper i'm pretty sure would register on the accelerometer, so you could make it feel like you were writing on paper.
Very interesting design. Maybe the buzzer could be adapted for use in graphic applications, to simulate pressure, or as a musical interface to simulate plucked or stroked strings and even wind-instruments such as a saxophone or flute.
It's just a joke. They both use pencil when they start the space programs,but pencil is inflammable,and broken pencil pieces may cause damage to spaceman and machines,so U.S. bought Fisher space pen(AG-7) in 1968,and U.S.S.R bought it too in 1969.
I know, right?! A simple solenoid would be so much more convincing than a buzzer. The only problem is that the haptic feedback wouldn't be localized and would therefore feel unnatural.
to make the screens he also makes seem more real as he first showed you with the program where he clicked a virtual button and the pen reacted to that single button. he pretty much explained it..... next time turn up your volume and listen to what people say in the videos you watch....
this could simply be used by children who are esily stimulated by the way things feel and look. Also it would be hugely helpful for blind folk to start using touch screen as they dont need to see wat they are pressing. just simply feel what button is what.
interesting. have you guys come up with any more applications for this? Oh and for some reason i got excited then annoyed during the part with the oscilloscope when the waveforms made me think of impulse responses. random
2 things: 1)the pen has a sensitive-pressure tip?? so, it "micro-moves"?? and 2) the screen when he press the buttons, what its made of? it could break...
Ok dude... =_= you seem to be very bright and have done your homework. Funny that you can't see that it was Just a joke >_> I really respect and appreciate Jonny Lee's projects and I love his videos. Don't you come and tell me who's dumb and arrogant. You should think twice before you decides to insult someone like that. I had no bad intentions posting the last comment nor the intention of mocking this fine project of his. Peace out.
So they had no visual stimulation at all, right? If they were that impressed with just the pen pressure, I'm sure it would have blown there minds to see virtual buttons being pressed.
That Italian girl is hot, err, I mean, splendid research - This reminds me a lot of the Xerox Park stuff from the 70s that became Mackintosh and Windows.
"Sounds like a little mini jack hammer." lol, It was so funny that the all liked the one that vibrated :P Not one of the best videos but interesting like always.
If he used it with a projected display onto some type of tabletop (with the projector based tracking thing he has), no, it wouldn't make holes in the screen. But yes, it would probably make a royal mess of a regular screen in a quick hurry.
you should test it with people using the pen on the screen with the buttons...like you used it...that would blow their minds...what you made them test it's not that impressive to a person, but using it with the screen it would make the screen come alive
DUde =))) that's why i came to youtube and HAD to comment on this, but saw your comment... i think she might want to take it home... you know... if it buzzes harder ;)
And as I said before, I'm not trying to mock Johnny's creation, I can't do better so why look down on his experiment? And I think Johnny is fully capable of defending himself if he felt insulted and doesn't need a kid like you to defend him. I'm not going to argue with you anymore, just a waste of time and I apologize to Johnny Lee for starting this argument with a bad joke.
pressure censor with feel effect. it looks like playing a game with your controller in vibrate. is it not? still why would you need something like that tho?
I kinda agree I mean all this Guy is doing is saving us a couple hundress bucks ( I did the whole wiimote on touch scream works great and save me over 5000 bucks =D ) anyway But I am thankful
If you're going to mock someone's grammar, you better make sure your own is perfect. You typed "And immature?" which is not a complete sentence, you misspelled "scraped" and I think you should've written "needs" instead of "need". :D

16 years later and i still want to play with this thing...
You only realize this video was uploaded a decade ago, when you see the CRT monitor and the scope with a floppy drive being used nomally

You should use this concept for simulating stuff in the workshop, like soldering in VR.
I needed to see the examples to get why that concept's interesting, but yes it does open many possibilities... Nice job guys :)
Thats really impressive. Can't believe I'm the only person to leave a comment on this very innovative device. Hope you continue your good work.

Those girls were really digging the last three settings...

This is terrific research. I hope they keep it up.

Very nice!!

Very Good Work!!
If you could attach this to the fingers of a glove, you could "feel" the buttons at your fingers.
That is pretty awsome!
You know what you should do? (keep in mind I don't even know if this would work) but the very tiny vibrations caused by a pen or pencil going across a peice of paper i'm pretty sure would register on the accelerometer, so you could make it feel like you were writing on paper.

Bring this back, just in a smaller form factor, for a tablet.
It's just a joke.

Lol, "It feels like voting"
That's really amazing stuff you are working on.. keep innovating :)
I like this one a whole lot!
john, i have faith you can find out how to hand us pens through screens!!!
I know, right?! A simple solenoid would be so much more convincing than a buzzer. The only problem is that the haptic feedback wouldn't be localized and would therefore feel unnatural.
dude!
can't wait until he combines all his creations!
:D
"What does it feel like?"
"It feels like voting."
XD
to make the screens he also makes seem more real as he first showed you with the program where he clicked a virtual button and the pen reacted to that single button. he pretty much explained it..... next time turn up your volume and listen to what people say in the videos you watch....
THIS IS JUST AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like this one a LOT. xD That guy cracks me up.
love it !!
I think this video could be made into a remix.
Thx for the pen through the vid.
this could simply be used by children who are esily stimulated by the way things feel and look.
Also it would be hugely helpful for blind folk to start using touch screen as they dont need to see wat they are pressing. just simply feel what button is what.
wow, great interaction design.
John Chung Lee, I'm writing you in for president.
"whats it feel like?.....Feels like voting!"
cool vid
*looks at pen, then presses down hard* i like this one ALOT!
interesting. have you guys come up with any more applications for this? Oh and for some reason i got excited then annoyed during the part with the oscilloscope when the waveforms made me think of impulse responses. random
2 things: 1)the pen has a sensitive-pressure tip?? so, it "micro-moves"?? and 2) the screen when he press the buttons, what its made of? it could break...
kinda agree with you there...maybe we just not thinking hard enuff
you are a genius :D
Ok dude... =_= you seem to be very bright and have done your homework. Funny that you can't see that it was Just a joke >_>

Peace out.
*Buzzes for a second* "I like this one A LOT" lol
Ah, counted "only" One mean thing on your latest comment. You're improving! Gratz!
And you're right, I'm pulling my hand back and hope this ends here.
So they had no visual stimulation at all, right? If they were that impressed with just the pen pressure, I'm sure it would have blown there minds to see virtual buttons being pressed.

man you are very intelligent
If he used it with a projected display onto some type of tabletop (with the projector based tracking thing he has), no, it wouldn't make holes in the screen. But yes, it would probably make a royal mess of a regular screen in a quick hurry.
Johnny lee, in as little words as possible: Make. a. console. Call it the J-station or something. xD
Man, I want that one. Well also I'd need a projector for it to be useful, right?
4:32 you know what that smile is for ;)
5:15-5:21 is hilarious if you loop it over and over!!! gets funnier every time
you should test it with people using the pen on the screen with the buttons...like you used it...that would blow their minds...what you made them test it's not that impressive to a person, but using it with the screen it would make the screen come alive
The woman in the white turtle-neck sounds like a Bostonian. [Yay Boston =D]
I can see him getting very rich. =P
Still a little sad Nintendo patented this for the 3DS...
DUde =))) that's why i came to youtube and HAD to comment on this, but saw your comment... i think she might want to take it home... you know... if it buzzes harder ;)

awesome
The woman in the white top looks like Gareth from The Office.
But if you combine it with IR diode and use it with a projector, then it's ok.
Hahah, exactly! But hey, what can one do with a perv / semi-realistic set of mind then to think "the obvious"?
that's pretty crazy.
INNOVADOR
pressure censor with feel effect. it looks like playing a game with your controller in vibrate. is it not?
still why would you need something like that tho?
Next step: Dentist drill simulation... how does that feel?
what would be the application to this science.
This is cool
By selling off his inventions, we could be out of our debt in no time!
I kinda agree I mean all this Guy is doing is saving us a couple hundress bucks
( I did the whole wiimote on touch scream works great and save me over 5000 bucks =D
) anyway But I am thankful
"IT FEELS LIKE VOTING" rofl
Lol @ it feels like voting.
My question is would be wouldn't a "hard click" ruin the screen or something?
"feels like voting"ahahahahahaha
Feels like... Voting o..o
what does it feel like? VOTING!
could you prehaps use this with an interactive whiteboard?
use the buzz one as new vibrator technology!
JAJAJAJA 4:28 WHAT WAS ON HER MIND~!!!!!! WHATCHA YOU GUYS THINK
oh.. a "jackhammer" i understand
Feels like voting.
whats the catch? Where you planning to use this tech.?
Yer arrested johnny
lol IT FEELS LIKE VOTING!
AMAZING thats all there is to say
EPIC
4:29 OMG LOL
lol pause at 0:16 great face!
but cool vid
lol you know why all those chicks are grining, mini jackhammer, is that what they call it now?
THIS IS JUST AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol
what's the application?
YOU must be high
Don't let Apple patent this...
4:21 its like a bad porno reel
Yep... The women looove the buzz.
my freind johnny lee owns lees fish and chips and lees chinese takeaway he looks like you! lol
If you're going to mock someone's grammar, you better make sure your own is perfect. You typed "And immature?" which is not a complete sentence, you misspelled "scraped" and I think you should've written "needs" instead of "need".
:D
lol (great minds think alike)
Haha LOL now I have a question =P
Why do one wanna create a pen(with lots of wires) that Simulates a... PEN?! lol XD
Is this Gru's sister?
jackhamma
