Tactile Images: feeling the relief of images

This slows or speeds up your mousecursor depending on a grayscale image. Skip to 06:50 to see the suggested application areas of this technique. You can download a test-version at http://www.ifeelpixel.com/ But it is donation-ware so you have to make a small donation if you want to download. After trying it out myself I conclude that it feels wierd, but the technology has some potential. But you will have to author some dephtmaps if the technology is going to be more useful than annoying.
