The Haptic Chameleon

Haven’t been posting very often lately as work is keeping me extremely busy. Sometimes I feel if it is worth taking a break, considering the amount of work that piles up once you return ;)

In any case, this is something I needed to bookmark this article about the ‘Haptic Chameleon’ a shape-shifting button that is being developed at Sony. While it is an interesting concept, it needs a bit of getting used to and unless it is accepted as a standard, this is not really an intuitive design. I mean who would think of depressed knobs as happy and sad faces? But there is definite potential in something like this, and though the virtual experiment was apparently not very successful, it may be an useful concept for game developers to explore…
