  2. Touch-sensitive lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touch-sensitive_lamp

    Video demonstrating the operation of a touch-sensitive lamp. A touch-sensitive lamp is a combination of a lamp and a touch switch. They act on the principle of body capacitance, activated by human touch rather than a flip, push-button, or other mechanical switch. They are popular as desk and nightstand lamps. Touch-sensitive lamp switches may ...

  4. Haptic technology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haptic_technology

    Haptic technology (also kinaesthetic communication or 3D touch) [1] [2] is technology that can create an experience of touch by applying forces, vibrations, or motions to the user. [3] These technologies can be used to create virtual objects in a computer simulation , to control virtual objects, and to enhance remote control of machines and ...

  5. Stroboscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroboscope

    The frequency of the flash is adjusted so that it is an equal to, or a unit fraction of the object's cyclic speed, at which point the object is seen to be either stationary or moving slowly backward or forward, depending on the flash frequency. Neon lamps or light-emitting diodes are commonly used for low-intensity strobe applications. Neon ...

  6. Multisensory integration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multisensory_integration

    Multisensory integration, also known as multimodal integration, is the study of how information from the different sensory modalities (such as sight, sound, touch, smell, self-motion, and taste) may be integrated by the nervous system. [1]

  7. Stroboscopic effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroboscopic_effect

    The stroboscopic effect is a visual phenomenon caused by aliasing that occurs when continuous rotational or other cyclic motion is represented by a series of short or instantaneous samples (as opposed to a continuous view) at a sampling rate close to the period of the motion.

  8. NASA offers explanation for bizarre 'trumpet noise' phenomena

    www.aol.com/news/2015-05-22-nasa-attempts-to...

    NASA scientists believe the ominous noises could potentially be the "background noise" of the Earth otherwise known as "Ambient Earth Noise." Since this still lacks scientific confirmation ...

  9. Sound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound

    Sound waves may be viewed using parabolic mirrors and objects that produce sound. [ 9 ] The energy carried by an oscillating sound wave converts back and forth between the potential energy of the extra compression (in case of longitudinal waves) or lateral displacement strain (in case of transverse waves) of the matter, and the kinetic energy ...
