I’ve seen this before, but this page is full of awesomesauce demo videos. I don’t like guns, but that gun attachment is way sexy. Forget about games that rely on overly complex button combinations to control your actions. Novint’s groundbreaking touch-enabled games allow you to realistically feel and interact as you play, letting you “become” the character. Pick up a basketball and feel its weight and inertia; swing a bat and feel its impact; feel the recoil of your weapon and the direction and strength when you are hit; or be able to feel the textures and surfaces of objects even with your eyes closed. Grab hold of the Novint Falcon and let it take you to an entirely new gaming dimension.

Proverbial Wallet: Financial Sixth Sense. We have trouble controlling our consumer impulses, and there’s a gap between our decision and the consequences. This is magnified by the digitization of money. When we pull a product off the shelf, do we know what our bank account balance is, or whether we’re over budget for the month? Our existing senses are inadequate to warn us.
The Proverbial Wallet gives us that financial sense at the point of purchase by un-abstracting virtual assets. Tactile feedback reflecting our personal balances and transactions helps us develop a subconscious financial sense that guides responsible decisions. In addition to providing a visceral connection to our virtual money, tactile output keeps personal information private and ambient.
