Tactile Technologies (TT) is about expanding upon the perceptual limits of technology.

Focusing on bodily sensations and stimuli, TT brings the body back to digital perception.TT takes a holistic approach to media and mediated experiences, re_combining the body + cognition + hardware into new contexts and situations.

Within networks your hands uses the keyboard as input and control device - and your eyes depends on the monitor for feedback. This just spells out the present low-bandwidth of computerbased communication systems. Low-bandwidth is great for the fantasy and it is one of the reasons why MUDs are such great places to be.
However, perception ought to involve more than fingers and eyes, and it is time to do away with the last hinderniss for the digital cyborg; the body. Without a possibility of complete corporal emergence into computermediated experiences and environments the digital highway to "info-heaven" and networked communication will fail.

TT will change the future.
