Well, probably not, but it may be an interesting supplement.

BBC has an interesting article up about developments in Japan using ultrasound as an interface device for gaming and other devices.

According to the article, researchers at the University of Tokyo are experimenting with ultrasonic fields as a haptic input device, combining ultrasound emitters with a visual tracking camera to provide users with a ‘feel” of the objects that they’re manipulating onscreen. It’s still early days for the technology, but it’s an interesting way of providing haptics in a controller that go way beyond the simple “rumble” found in today’s systems and without requiring special gloves or other hardware.

Definitely worth keeping an eye on!
