Apart from Jmat's guess, the only meaning I know of 'feelies' is from 'Brave New World' by Aldous Huxley. This is the name for the cinema entertainment in the book and comes from the real world entertainments - movies (moving pictures) and talkies (early movies with sound). They are called 'feelies' in the book because the audience can feel the experience as well as see and hear it. However, if it's not from that book, I have no idea.
