GyroCubeSensuous
I just came across this "old" technology which should provide (virtual) force feedback.
Does anyone know if it could really deliver "senses such as "push, draw and buoyancy.""?

It was also one of SIGGRAPH 05 posters:

..or if it was used in some commercial product?
It could be great upgrade for Razor Hydra I think.
edit: and the related patent:

- According to the first article it uses large spinning weights to make the effect. Problem is, if you shrink the weights, you reduce the effect. So you can't miniaturize it.
- That is true. Maybe it could be another use for depleted uranium with 19100 kg/m3 density ...
