Looking for the Next Big Thing in immersive gaming? So are some clever scientists from the University of Tokyo.
And they might have found it.
According to the BBC, Professor Takayuki Iwamoto and his team of researchers have invented a system that harnesses the power of ultrasonic waves to create touchable virtual objects out of thin air.
The concept draws from the burgeoning field of haptics, which studies ways to integrate computing power and our sense of touch. Using an array of ultrasonic transducers and a camera that tracks hand position, the system focuses the pressure of sound waves into mid-air shapes that users can actually feel with their bare hands. In the past, feeling such sensations required using specially-designed gloves or other mechanical devices.
It's important in life to maintain a broad palette when it comes to culture and the arts. Hideo Kojima agrees, as he continues to use video games like Death Stranding to introduce people to music and other elements they might not otherwise discover.
Mojang has partnered with Merlin Entertainments to build the world's first Minecraft theme park in the UK.
A three-episode live-action adaptation of the first two Yakuza video games will debut Tuesday, March 17 exclusively IGN. Each episode is about an hour long and will stream on IGN.com and IGN’s YouTube channel.

does anyone have any idea at how much damage ultrasound can do to the human body? lots.
It's like saying that movement controllers like the Nintendo Wii's is the way forward...
