For years, I have been teaching about the infusion of computing into sensory areas beyond sight and sound. Today, we expect vibration mode on cell phones, and the iPhone has introduced the idea of gyroscopes and access to a rich array of sensors. BUT, these are the tip of the iceberg. They are the beginning of the public becoming comfortable with the idea that computing is going to interact with us through all of our senses. One of the most interesting developments in this area is in the field of 3D printing.
