The device they are using seems to be the Phantom by SensAble Tecnologies (product page). I used one of these a few weeks ago at USC's Integrated Media Systems Cetner, they're pretty cool. If you are interested in this kind of thing, the field is called "haptics," from the greek "to touch."
Harvey Mudd College was not linked in the story, and was not properly linked on the webpage. I feel it is my duty to correct this.
