Something like this would be huge for VR.

The unit itself looks really small. That could fit easily into the Joy-Cons. If Nintendo is making a HMD VR for Switch, these babies would add a level of immersion that not even the mighty HTC Vive could match.

This is great if you applied it on Oculus Hentai games.

Whole thread reads like you're dissatisfied with what's been shown so far and are hoping for a "secret sauce" feature to fill a void.

And maybe the Switch produce electricity from the player's touch and allow you to power your whole house for free while playing. 

They obviously have something really revolutionary up their sleeve, so producing electricity is highly probable, right? 

I don't see why this isn't a possibility for Switch and as already stated will work brilliantly with VR. Even if not included initially a improved VR controller sold separately with it could be sold later.

It would be amazing going through a dungeon and then deciding to feel the stone walls and get a realistic response. Same again where you encounter other materials, tree bark, fur, glass etc. It adds to the gaming experience and could be part of the puzzles etc.

I'm longing for the day when this can be implemented, but I don't think it's coming for the Switch. It'll simply be too expensive

Please send any complaints to the author of the video.

This thread is clearly asking you if you think the technology shown in the video will be something the Switch will use.

I am just the innocent messenger, calmly searching the turbulent internet waters for any interesting Switch rumors, bringing them to the good people of VGChartz and asking for your opinions. Please chill.

it could be, but to be in Switch, or any other portable, it must satisfy at least three conditions:
1) having been revealed in a working and viable implementation early enough to be included in the project, it can be later than the earliest phases, but it must be before features stop being added, dev kits are sent to developers and refinement and testing starts.
2) being already cheap enough then, or granted to become by the time the portable will start being produced
3) low-power consumption
