For those who can't decipher what this is, a video might be helpful. It literally crawls the controller along a tabletop using the haptic feedback motors: https://x.com/FossPrime/status/2070013003752251660

Similar idea to this, right? Cycloramic app for the iPhone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iV8UkuD4gig&t=1

Alright, we're halfway through the Pantheon scene where David hacks the data center with the satellite phone.

Though, the phone moving with the vibration was always the more believable half. The ultrasonic pressing of the keyboard is mostly sound science but questionable from an engineering standpoint.

Must be nice to be able to even buy a controller.

Very cool. That controller has gyro and mic. Even more interesting solutions are available.

The neighbors hearing the vibrations at the end of the night everyday will not believe that’s your “auto guided controller!” to get charged.
