free idea: a silicone putty with sensors in it that can harden as whatever controller you want

add a number of vibration motors and you also have force feedback, let it not harden at all and you have a screen but for hands

actually due to [dayjob] I am mildly experienced in this area and could totally make it work

would need a competent EE person for wireless power and miniaturization of the nodules, and idk if there's a putty that's up to spec

but there's a huge niche for "gesture recognition interface that 1. works at all and 2. has force feedback"

current video recognition-based gesture interfaces simply can't deal with hands occluding each other and themselves

force feedback is limited to, like, what was the state of the art, ultrasound and airflows? I've not even used this, it's that experimental

an alternative to the putty would be a reconfigurable skeleton with an elastic skin, less messy but more unknown and harder to fix

ideally I'd have something like a small shoggoth that could reconfigure itself but I don't know of anything that would allow it to do that

hmm trying to think of a workflow say you have a 3d object on a screen and a bit of putty in front of you software matches nodules to mesh

you knead it a bit until the thing on the screen has the right shape, select/deselect a few nodules for fine tuning
