Haptic Arm Wrestling hits the net

An internet facilitated "haptic" arm-wrestling machine devised to teach children "hands-on" applications of networking in the digital age is the hit of American museums and may spawn a new sports craze. The Haptic Arm Wrestling machine, currently on display at 6 science museums, including the New York Hall of Science in Queens, the Tech Museum in San Jose, and the Imaginarium in Alaska, allows contestants to arm wrestle remote human opponents over the internet while watching live video and audio feeds.

Haptics is the science of touch and "tele-haptics" is the new combination of virtual touch technology with networking that allows people to feel locally sensations applied at a distance. Haptics has been employed by NASA to work on the International Space Station, allowing astronauts to control robots outside the station to do repairs, and during the height of the dot com years tele-dildonics or "virtual sex' was touted as the next emergent haptic application. Haptic wrestling, however, has emerged as a favourite sport on the museum circuit for kids and adults alike. A Haptic "Hand" glove is also currently under construction by US based Cyberforce industries for widespread networking applications.
