Update Part 1/2

Progress:
Last thursday, we had a formal discussion with Mr. Lin about our project and what we need to do.
As long as electrostatic displays have existed, there has consistently been one major flaw. The way that electrostatic displays work is by sending an electric signal through the entire layer of conductive material. The way these prototypes have always worked around this is by sensing where the finger is and sending out the associated tactile signal for that location. But, we propose to make it so that we can have different cells each with a different tactile sensation.
This doesn’t have to be see-through. The technology already exists for a tactile-touch combo screen. We don’t have to redevelop that. Instead, we can focus on making a tactile device that is not visual (yet).
