Can this article avoid the usual twitterings about vibrating phones? No. Nevertheless, it does have some good insights into the uses for the new Samsung’s SCH-n330, which includes VibeTonz technology developed by Immersion. “Immersion claims VibeTonz is a step up from ordinary vibrating phones, allowing more detailed control of the actuator to create a combination of pulses that vary in intensity, speed or duration. According to Immersion, the system can mimic the sensation of driving on the road one minute, and crashing the next.” The difference is compared to that between AM and surround sound… It could make games more interesting, but I’d want to see the effect on battery life before I used it too much. The article then goes on to talk about combining VibeTonz with moantones and teledildonics, despite a terse “We don’t participate in the sex industry” from Immersion.
