Its not making the paper float in the air, rather the paper is the visual medium allowing you to see what exactly is happening. The actual ultra sonic doohickey is not visible to the naked eye, so pushing a paper on it lets you know there's actually something there. Hmm.... I wonder if some sort of led or something in the base would enable you to see.

Acoustic radiation pressure only exists perpendicular to the wave propagation, so any resistance will only be "up".  Never, ever down.  If you have a sphere of transducers you can do better, but this will be pretty limiting as well, and the amount of pressure/resistance you'd feel is going to be quite small.  Don't get your hopes up.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Unknown]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 3rd 2008 1:55PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Airborne Ultrasound Tactile Display creates haptic 3D objects you can poke]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/airborne-ultrasound-tactile-display-creates-haptic-3d-objects-yo/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/airborne-ultrasound-tactile-display-creates-haptic-3d-objects-yo/</guid><description><![CDATA[Why not just drop a cloth on top of the thing instead of all that rubbing with the piece of paper?
