To at least some extent we’ve already got the remote feeling thing with haptic suits, though they’re still rather pricey for most at the moment. Also not sure how great their functionality is since I’ve never tried any myself.
Yeah, I've heard good things about haptic gloves, but I also heard people claim that haptic feedback on phones feels like actually pressing buttons, and that's absolutely not true. But I do think it's a far more premising area of research, because touch is just electrical signals at the end of the day.
