Bintsley recently acquired a magic wand (courtesy of cdibona). It requires a bit of practice, but it adds a skill-building aspect to lounging on the couch. Programming the wand wasn't nearly as tedious as I'd thought it would be.
The tactile cues are fascinating. It makes me think about how hardware-software interactions give the opportunity for richer feedback, but are seldom used. My guess is it's due to the difficulty of deciphering physical codes. We are a primarily visual species. Arrows mean pretty much the same thing in nearly all human cultures, but the difference between two pulses versus one pulse of vibration must be learned.
