Crazy Novint Falcon Touch Controller Gets Official EA Support, Maybe Worth Buying
I messed around with Novint's Falcon haptically endowed globe/joystick at Tokyo Game Show last year. It was neat, but not going to replace my mouse—in part because game support was lacking. Now it'll be supported in real, live games from EA: Madden NFL 08, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08, Need For Speed ProStreet, Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2142. But! Even if you're already one of the

A couple of University of Glasgow students have built a prototype of a program that brings haptic touchscreen technology to the iPhone. It's a buggy program, but even if the kinks get worked out a question remains: does anybody need it?

Novint's Falcon 3D Haptic Joystick has been around for awhile now, but it has just received an upgrade in the form of a black version and an optional pistol grip accessory for FPS gaming. At $19.99, the grip is a little more expensive than the $4 price tag they hinted at last May, but if you are already paying $199 for the black Falcon, what is another $15? [Novint via i4u]

Nokia's Haptikos Technology Makes Physical Keyboards Obsolete, Hopefully
Nokia has been working on a very promising technology, called Haptikos, and it is now coming to fruition after 10 years in the making.

The Senior Program Manager at Nokia's research lab, Roope Takala, explained how the engineers were able to accomplish the seemingly impossible: More »

CeBIT '06: Brainic VW-500 Vibrating MP3 Player
Another item in the "Huh" category. This thing is a haptic MP3 player that vibrates in time to your music. Hot little OLED display and up to 1GB storage are nice, and this thing is tiny. Why a vibrating MP3 player, you ask? Who knows. Let's just assume that this thing doesn't necessarily have to go on the hand. More »
