Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to a New York Times article (registration required) discussing physical feedback advances as they relate to games. According to the piece, "..the physically immersive technology known as haptics is beginning to deliver on the science-fiction dream of interactive alternative realities. Innovations with roots in automotive and medical engineering are making gamers feel a part of their games as never before." As well as more conventional force feedback and vibration devices, companies such as Canesta are working on an "..electronic device to create a three-dimensional image of its surroundings and respond to changes in real time" - could this create a whole new genre of gaming?

I don't know if it's a good or bad thing, the only thing I know is that I was going to post another one.
I guess this one will do instead, right?

...that like the videotape, the web, and the DVD, the porn industry will be among the first to put this to commercial use and the first to see significant profits.
Hell, I suspect that the Bible was the second thing Gutenberg printed, the first after he printed porn!

Correct me if I'm wrong here...but any user of a regular mouse--or a real life BFG--can also "depress a trigger with the flick of a finger".
Seriously though, I saw this glove at E3, and it looked interesting.
