A new project by Disney Research and ETH Zurich's Dorothea Reusser, Espen Knoop, Roland Siegwart and Paul Beardsley, it's a large-scale tactile firework show in which water jets are directed onto a flexible screen.。

Users put their hands up against the other side of the screen, a rear-mounted Kinect detects the user, and they will be able to feel "tactile fireworks that are directly analogous to physical fireworks happening in the sky." 。

"We envisage it as an installation at a firework show that attracts all crowd members to share the experience of feeling fireworks," says the research paper.。 According to 。According to。 New Scientist。, the project is still in demonstration phase, having shown at the User Interface Software and Technology conference in October. 。
