"Touching, touching is an important part of the human experience, but it is still lacking in virtual reality to this day," said director Miraisens Natsuo Koda.

"This technology will give users the feeling they can touch objects in the 3-D world," said Koda, a former researcher with virtual reality research at Sony.

Technical expert Norio Nakamura explains that 3-D technology works by deceiving the brain, combining images that the eyes see with the vibrations produced by a small device at the fingertips.

At the launch event in Tokyo, a user wears Miraisens ' 3-D ' imaging device ' and senses the elasticity of the touch.

Miraisens is a company originating from the National Institute of Advanced Science and Technology of Japan. The company says it will soon develop mobile applications and services to commercially market its 3-D technology .

Miraisens says it will bring the technology to video games to help players experience a more realistic and lifelike experience.
