GyroCubeSensuous lets you feel it out virtually

Unlike other virtual space/reality interaction devices that typically require some kind of externally attached
force feedback mechanism (such as a
manipulating arm) for "realistic" interaction, Japan's AIST (Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology)
and the University of Tsukuba have developed the GyroCubeSensuous, which is apparently able to use gyroscopes and
self-contained rotary force-feedback to accurately simulate such (virtual) sensasions as push, draw and even buoyancy.
We can think of a few reasons this thing would be useful, but seriously, +5 points for using "sensuous" in the
name—Engrish non sequitur or no.

Even more exciting, Nintendo has already licensed this technology for use in their upcoming Nintendo Revolution console! Or not...
Another advance in the field of teledildonics!
WOW this is so exciting!!!(not reall)
It's funny that you laud the Engrish right after using "containted." This good quality one edit.
So hold on, weve got something shaped like.......that...., that simulates push, pull, and resistance on the hand.....
Is it just me or are more and more women strangly getting more interested in technology?
Looks like a lightsaber to me.
