One embodiment relates to a method for creating a fast vanishing light scattering surface/volume to which an image is projected. The method includes: creating two portions of atomized particles of a given particle size that does not allow an incident light having a visible spectrum from being scattered, reflected and/or dissipated; and ejecting these two portions of the atomized particles from two opposite directions towards each other. The atomized particles collide/contact with each other to aggregate, thereby creating the fast vanishing light scattering surface/volume at a specific spatial region in which the aggregated particles allow the incident light to be scattered, reflected and/or dissipated.

One embodiment relates to a haptic stylus includes: a stylus housing; a stylus tip attached to one end of the stylus housing, so as to be in contact with an interaction surface, such as a touchscreen; a stylus covering attached to a circumference of the stylus housing, so as to be movable with respect to the stylus housing along a longitudinal direction of the haptic stylus and so as to be gripped/held by user's fingers; and a first actuator configured to activate the stylus housing to thereby cause a stick-slip phenomenon between the stylus covering and the user's fingers gripping/holding the stylus covering thereby allowing the user's fingers to grip/hold the stylus covering while moving along the longitudinal direction of the haptic stylus.

One embodiment of the present invention provides a living body stimulation device including: an envelope body having a living body contact surface which is to be brought into contact with a stimulation-target site of a living body; a propagation medium sealed in the envelope body and made of a liquid or gel material capable of transmitting a vibration and/or pressure; and an actuator configured to apply the vibration and/or pressure to the propagation medium. The vibration and/or pressure applied to the propagation medium by the actuator propagates through the propagation medium to the living body contact surface of the envelope body, to thereby stimulate the living body.
