Magnetic Sense Trainer
I started working on a magnetic sense trainer today. It is pretty cool to play about with so far. I did a write up on my blog here:
It still needs some tweaks and polish, but if there is interest I can get the design refined and get a bunch manufactured at work.
let me know what you guys think.

When you say "conversations", what do you mean? Actual audio?
If you had a microphone on one or more of your fingers, and recorded the sound of rubbing various different textured surfaces,
and then played it through this coil loop, would the magnet vibrate in a way that made you feel as though you were touching the surface that recorded the sound?
It would be interesting if so.
The approach itself is quite awesome, just needs higher resolution in recording and reproduction. This could be a great way to improve augmented or virtual reality by adding a true touch sense. iirc I once read about a special display device for such things. It used high voltages and capacitive coupling to tingle neurons in the fingertips as the finger was sliding over the surface.
