It definitely can be - I had a demo of Ultrahaptics' (now ultraleap) ultrasonic tactile system[0] 3 years back and you could definitely "touch" objects that weren't there. They only had the development kit out at the time - I now want to check out their new module to see how it's progressed!

Pleasantly surprised they are still around since the whole MagicLeap fiasco

Which fiasco are you thinking of? Or could you be confusing Magic Leap[0] (the Augmented Reality headset) and Leap Motion[1] (the 3D motion controller) (admittedly I swap the names around all the time!)
