I recently started a job building wearable VR haptic feedback systems. This isn't a field I've ever even thought of before, but it's been really interesting so far. I'm pushing the limits of what the current technology can physically do and trying to tease it into a format that tricks your monkey brain into perceiving a texture or shape.

This field is not something I've even thought about before, but it's been a very interesting challenge. Part of my job is to just straight up invent new technology, which is something I've always secretly dreamed of.

I'm dreaming up ways to generate physical textures on the fly and present it to your finger in a way that convinces your brain it's real. How fucking cool is that??
