Let's talk about motion-sensitive controllers. Nintendo has the Wiimote, while Microsoft, on the other hand, said that it will come up with a motion-sensitive controller if its user base badly wants one. Now, Sony is trying to patent a "hand-held computer interactive device."
 
According to the official records, the invention belongs to a certain Tyler Jon Daniel and it's for Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI). Basically, if our understanding of the patent is correct, the device is as easy to use as the wiimote but instead of just capturing motion, it is capable of sensing the movements of your hands, palms, and fingers.

Sounds like VR gloves? Well, yes but not quite. The patent discussed that the problem with gloves is that these devices require the user to constantly remove the gloves and put the gloves back on, especially if the user is moving between multiple applications. So, what exactly is this new interactive device?

A part of its description reads, A computing system capable of providing vibrational feedback to a user, comprising:

• Means for capturing hand movements of a user through an external input device configured to be held by the user
• Means for capturing hand movements including means for capturing a degree of bending of a user's finger
• Means for transmitting the captured hand movements to a computing device
• Means for transmitting commands to the external input device in response to the transmitted hand movements of the user
• Means for providing tactile feedback to the user in response to the transmitted commands to the external input device
• Means for displaying graphic images associated with the commands received from the external input device
