I agree with automate about that there is a huge amount of potential in this gadget. I say that because companies do not have to create new games to experience touch and feel of the things in it, rather pretty much any game can be patched to allow the simulation of feel. That means either that you can now experience the brute force with which the Pinky monster ravages your character in Doom 3, or the tail of Onyxia on your face in WoW, or ANY other game. I cant think of a game that touch cant be implemented in.
So as a gamer I thank these guys for thinking up a product that will add more realist to games by finally considering our overlooked sense of touch.
When enough gets released just imagine the modder communities exploding as people come up with their own ideas of how shooting a lightning bolt REALLY feels like.
