About Sensitive Object
Sensitive Object(TM) was created in 2003 by scientists from CNRS
and University of Paris 7, to promote an innovative new technology
that can modify our comfort and convenience through the sense of
touch. ReserSys(TM) the company's patented technology is based on a
revolutionary process of "time reversal acoustics," which connects
inexpensive sensors to the audio input of a computer, in a way that
turns common objects into tactile screens, which are capable of
relaying information with a simple "tap".
