Yes, yes! The flexibility of a touch screen interface combine with intuitiveness of variable tactile feedback is like my holy grail of UI tools. Can't wait for this to trickle down to consumer gadgets.


I imaging that the adult entertainment industry would be very interested in the this technology. It appears to be very inexpensive and could significantly enhance the experience. It might also provide a value add service to their "free" content; you can watch the movie for free but if you want the full experience it will cost $9.95 / month.

Getting Disney to license it to them is another matter all-together. Then again, isn't Touchstone studios a Disney property created to handle grownup movies? Maybe they could/would do something similar with this.
