They are demonstrating the device and presenting ps3 controller studies about it during the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers’ Haptics Symposium. Haptics deals with research about touch, just as optics deals with vision. A patent is pending on the device.The first haptic or touch feedback in game controllers came in 1997 with the Nintendo64 system’s “rumble pack” that makes the hands vibrate using an off-balance motor to simulate wii controller the feel of driving a race car on a gravel road, flying a jet or dueling with Star Wars light sabers, Provancher and colleagues write.His new controller does something additional: it delivers directional cues to the player by stretching the skin of the thumb tips in different directions.“We have developed feedback modes that enhance immersiveness and realism for gaming scenarios such as collision, recoil from a gun, the feeling of being pushed by ocean waves or crawling prone in a first-person shooter game,” Provancher says.The latest game controller prototype looks like controllers for Microsoft’s Xbox or Sony’s PlayStation but with an addition to the controller’s normal thumb joysticks, on which the thumbs are placed and moved in different directions to control the game. In the new controller, the middle of each ring-shaped thumb xbox controller stick has a round, red “tactor” that looks like the eraser-head-shaped IBM TrackPoint or pointing stick now found on a number of laptop computer brands. 8812abc09 0329

Preemptive war is not a Christian principle. G-d Himself never preempted destruction of any person or Nation. It was only after much Grace and Mercy was shown to be of no affect that G-d gave up on a people or person. Let me then ask those who do not support Ron Paul, have you given up on Iran? I am glad that G-d is my Judge and Savior, not men. Israel goes on it's own path, not being the path of a Christian. Some day G-d will show them how it's done.

Get yourself a PET. It's claimed that people with pets live longer. This may offset your sitting . Like anyother single study group, it only tells one story of a multi-facited life we enjoy. A person is more than a single study and has more than one necessary agenda to keep life, alive. A balanced diet in any field is the best scenario for healthy living.

Thanks for a most practical helpful post! I deal with breathing issues as a result of polio as a child, but this is something that could potentially help everyone. I would recommend being careful on the choice of plants if you have pets and small children. Wondering if you happen to know about the three plants mentioned and their safety for pets.

Yeah, God will clean up the mess you helped make of other people lives. Er.hm?

This is one of the main reasons why I am against national healthcare and it validates my reason. Most people's health problems are SELF INDUCED. I should not have to pay for someone else's stupidity nor should they have to pay for mine.

Be more responsible people. It will make a world of difference.
