The use of 3D movement for the pins means the display can mimic more interactionsbetween the skin and various remote or simulated surfaces4,5. This paper covers the experiencesof two undergraduate Electronics Engineering Technology students in developing andconstructing a tactile display with four pins with independent motion in three dimensions. Thisproject was part of a class on control theory, and the students had previously taken classes inanalog circuits, digital circuits, and circuit/component testing. Each student spent approximately20 hours on this project.Project FlowThis project was completed as part of a senior-level course on control
