A system and method for a haptic display is disclosed. The haptic display includes a display head and an actuator layer. The actuator layer includes a pin board configured with a plurality of opening, and a plurality of pins configured to translate within the plurality of openings. One or more of the plurality of pins includes a display interaction end configured to physically interact with the display head and an actuation end. The actuation layer further includes a plurality of linear actuator elements physically coupled to the actuation end of the plurality of pins configured to bias a set of the pins against the display head. A bias of the set of pins against the display head generates a protrusion on the flexible surface that may be reduced by a biasing force of a user, wherein the user detects a reduction of the protrusion.
