Check out their cybergrasp and force systems too.

Basicaly, depending how much your willing to pay, and how much you want to attach to your arm, you can simulate just about anything :P

I imagine it’s going to be like pressing against very non-resistant foam…

Should be cheap to mass produce too.

The inability to touch augmented surfaces wont stop the technologys adoption, but it will indeed be something badly missed when we replace something physical with something virtual.
Any sort of way to replace that will be great. Even if we can never accurately reproduce the resistance of the physical, a slight stimulation goes a long way into tricking our brains somethings really their.
