hey guys I'm Sharon Profis for cnet.com at CES 2015 checking out the 3d Systems Touch 3d stylus the stylus works two ways right now first you can use it to create your 3d designs so you pick it up and you use it as a stylus to mold the clay in a 3d program called cuba face sculpt then as you're playing around with it and pushing the clay you'll actually feel the resistance of the stylus the whole thing is that it provides haptic feedback but what 3d systems wants to get us really excited about at CES is using this for gaming so what I'm standing in front of is a game much like Jenga where you can actually grab the stylus and find your block then you can use the buttons on the stylus and as you're kind of finding the block you want the closer you get as you hit the actual wall the stylus will stop you because it's giving you that haptic feedback you'll also feel the resistance of gravity and some games can even incorporate vibrations so once you grab your block you click the button you pull it out and if you did it right then you stuck it right on top and you continue playing this game actually works on the oculus rift they've got a partnership going on but the touch 3d stylus isn't just for oculus they want developers to incorporate it into gaming consoles and PC games so there's a lot of potential here it's just a matter of developers getting on board and designing games to go with this product whether you're a game developer an early adopter or you want to make it really easy to create your own 3d designs you can buy the touch 3d stylus right now for $4.99 for cnet.com I'm Sharon Profis at CES 2015
