From the video it's another device trying to make users move in ways the device can't even detect. On top of that it's being over applied to game concepts it shouldn't be.

We already have enough gaming companies in the market with their own devices and I don't think we need another "gaming platform".

By itself this is just another redundant motion control device but coupled with the up-and-coming MS Natal it might work extremely well as a companion offering rotation, movement, and a squeeze trigger device that can be held in the palm of the hand or maybe one in both hands.

Don't do it alone...partner up!]]>Nov 21st 2009 1:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/finland-unleashes-blobo-the-squeezable-all-too-cheerful-game-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/finland-unleashes-blobo-the-squeezable-all-too-cheerful-game-c/
