So in other words, "We haven't actually done this, but we're going to patent it anyway so we can still make money off of it when someone else figures it out."]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/06/sony-patents-sensory-perception-beam/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/06/sony-patents-sensory-perception-beam/g

Or are they looking at developing medical devices? (or both)
I've read the patent information, and although much of it is beond me, it seems Sony is interested in the medical uses.
But they can't deny that this also has serious potential as a new form of gaming. Can it really be perfected enough to where it can be used in that format?

And so far, this is all just theory, right? Since no tests have been done? How soon do you expect that tests will be preformed?
