Gloves are three-dimensional images

Have you ever dreamed of touching the image of actress Marilyn Monroe smiling brightly? Shook hands with idol Totti player? It seems that the dream is not far away.

Technology company NTT Comware of Japan has introduced a system that allows you to feel the " shape and softness " of 3D images, using a glove attached with micro sensors.

Called " 3D Visualization, " the system produces lifelike graphics, as if it were about to " get out of the screen ". Comes with a special glove, which allows the user to touch the screen and " feel the image ".

No need for bizarre 3D glasses, users can still feel a distant object as if they appeared right before their eyes, NTT said.

" You will be able to shake hands or rub the head of a grandson who lives thousands of miles away, " said NTT's Shiro Ozawa. To make this vision come true, both ends must use the "3D visible" system.

In the case of a person moving at one end, his / her 3-D image is also moving at the same time (real-time). Feel so good that if the other end just moved and grabbed your hand, you would feel like you were being dragged.

Museums can also use this technology to allow visitors to touch precious exhibits that are carefully stored and sealed inside the glass.
