HaptX does have a force feedback system, maybe it just wasn't on that day?

Yeah, that's hard because of how you perceive weight. We'd have to be able to pull your forearm down relative to the elbow, and that's not exactly easy to do elegantly. I've thought a lot about it and haven't been able to come up with something that isn't a ridiculous exoskeleton for your arms and shoulders.

> I personally think that a feedback system that let you feel the volume or shape of gripped objects would be better, but these are very hard problems.

I agree! It really does make the interaction more convincing. I've been working on this problem for the last year or so and it is indeed quite hard. But we're nearly there. Maybe this year ;)
