Re:TeslaTouch - tactile feedback from touchscreen surface by unwind on Tuesday December 07, 2010 @05:41AM (#1978642)
From the video, it seems the entire screen has the same touch simulation, it doesn't say anything about being able to address "touch pixels" (tixels? taxels? tacxels?).

So, I guess it's able to switch the simulation very quickly, to implement the various demos they show where the tactile feedback is different for different parts of the screen.

That seems to imply that this won't be compatible with The Other Touchscreen development, i.e. multitouch.

Does anyone know?

There's this video about Senseg who is the leader in this technology. He actually talks about tixels:

Correct, at the moment the whole area offers the same feedback. This means that multi-user applications do not work.
