That's just until the next generation when Microsoft decides to bundle the NextBox with Kinect and something like this.

The day I am required to wear a bodysuit to play video games is the day I fucking quit gaming and go do outdoor activities much more often than I do now.

Then imagine Microsoft making wristbands with the same tech.

It's coming...

Quote from article...

"Although we have only implemented Surround Haptics with a gaming chair to date, the technology can be easily embedded into clothing, gloves, sports equipment and mobile computing devices," said Disney Research senior research scientist Ivan Poupyrev. "This technology has the capability of enhancing the perception of flying or falling, of shrinking or growing, of feeling bugs creeping on your skin. The possibilities are endless."

Nice! Now we just need Microsoft to bundle it with the NextBox along with Kinect (and put a button or two on it maybe?)!


I can see it enhancing my magic fingers on girls, either way, Kinect by itself is not practicle, so if they can have an inexpensive way for some type of controller or feedback and change their marketing for the next console , then it might work, but it'd be too much like Move with IR sensory, I'd much rather goto the gym or outdoors with friends or family, home is for relaxing, I already look stupid enough playing my Wii, fly kicking my TV is not how I wanna go about it.
