Throwable Game Controllers 92
dptalia writes "In trolling recent patents, Barry Fox found one for a throwable game controller. This controller would be shaped like a football or a frisbee and be connected wirelessly to a console. The user could then play digital games like catch, or have a distance throwing competition. The controllers have embedded GPS, an altimeter, and an accelerometer to be able to determine the accuracy of the throws."

Honestly, if you have a football-shaped controller that you throw to see how far you can throw it in a video game, why not get a *real* football and see how far you can throw it in real life? Throw a couple of friends in the mix, and you have yourself a fun game of football!
Things like this make me lose my faith in humanity.
