taken from pspcrazy.com
According to an invention-spotting column at NewScientisttech (by way of Eurogamer) Sony has applied for a patent that will make portable tech a bit more portable -- and squishy. According to the patent the plan is to create handheld computers, phones, and games that can fold up for carrying, but become rigid for use. Say wha? The body and screen of these do-dads would be made from a springy polymer material that has conductive rubber bracing struts filled with a gel of aluminosilicate particles suspended in silicone oil. Passing an electrical current through the struts would cause those particles to clump together, harden the gel, and stiffen up the toy. According to the patent the transition from soft to hard takes just milliseconds (heh-heh? oh? grow up!). Of interesting note to gamers, the patent specifically indicates that this same technology could be used in a game controller to make it jolt -- or change shape -- in response to on-screen action. An example offered that during a fighting game if a player is defeated, the electroheological fluid device would become soft in order to "improve the realistic sensations in the game." holy crap this sounds good all i gotta say is is stick this on the ps3 controller and make it vibrate and we are all happy again any this Dappa reporting out.
this sounds mad cool i hope they fix some things up for the ps3
and sorry if i posted this thread in the wrong place

i would love a controller that would slightly morph when i get hit from one side, or when your are dont with it it will compact itself.
But they all do sort of the same thing, and that is rearrange what you thought was real, and they remind you of the beauty of very simple things. You forget, because youre so busy going from a to z, that theres 24 letters in between... You turn on... tune in... and you drop out...

i think its there lifetime. they only last 10,000 hours, and any use it would have would have to be replaced every year or 2.

Hey anubis and xyqo.So how much is this thing anyways?.I mean if it has only a short life and cost's alot there is your reason.
when reading pinoy0009's first post I can't help but think about how much that would cost per controller.

costs are accually alot cheaper, but its 1/3 the life of plasma, and 1/6 the life of lcd.

O LED should be available within the next year or two. They already have a keyboard with OLED screens on the keys. Its gonna be awesome. Fully flexible, paper thin, and cheap enough to make posters out of. Theyre even planning am O-LED shirt that you can download paterns into. Alot more exciting than this "shapeshifting plastic"

Cool .It's hd right? But when they first come out they will be expensive I don't care how much they cost to manufacture.Lcd's are cheaper to manufacture than crt's but still cost more.The same with anything new.lcd was used decades before it was turned into tv's(remember that alarm clock)same thing with led.

well imagine us being told to wear these shirts as companies beam advertizing to its receptor as required by juresdiction?
also, i read about how gamma rays can mess with synapses in the brain and cause things similar to dreams, so imagine that being more learned of and companies beaming gamma into us in sleep so we dream of windows, cars, ipods, hefty trash bags, trojan condoms, and even girls gone wild.

im sure they would find a way to make it leagal at the cost of maybe several billion dollars, a
good buisness deal, a lawyer, and 1/8 your life.

Lol. Coorperations are evil scum of the earth.
Really though after not hearing much about it for so long i thought they'de abandoned it. If it cheap enough for me to repace it every two yrs and i can get it at 1080p then no prob thats the solution to the HD transition
