Dialogue: 0,0:00:13.14,0:00:15.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So what happens is that reality gets massively compressed..

Dialogue: 0,0:00:53.04,0:00:57.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We chose to use visual input and send that to our sense of touch. Dialogue: 0,0:00:57.92,0:01:01.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Why? Because it was fairly intuitive, Dialogue: 0,0:01:01.95,0:01:05.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The visual input is an array of pixels, Dialogue: 0,0:01:05.34,0:01:09.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you can imagine in this example\Nhow it can be mapped to tactile.
