Haha! It is so Randoom that this post landed here instead of Newstuff!!
A company has now come out with a new method of telling people if it will be warm or cold the next day.
HAPTIC THERMO TRANSDUCER
Or Haptic Weather Cube, as the creators refer to it, is a new product that consists of wires, components, and an aluminum shell that gets cool or warm to the touch to give indication of the next days air temp.
I have problems with this.
I get cool at 58 degrees Fahrenheit. It's downright chilly to me at 53, and I'd swear it was below freezing at 48. Those to me are cold, and that's not even factoring in the wind.I've seen it be seventy two degrees with wind gusts at seventeen mph, and I was shivering. The wind sucks. I always go leeway, if I can. Leeway, away from the wind.
THE WIND
Here is where the problem remains for me. I can't touch an estimation of what the air will feel like if it doesn't factor in wind chill.The difference in the two can make or break a planned affair, if made by this electronic wheather-man.
Haha, weathermen. I love the down-trodden, and now I have the next one to laugh and make fun of.
Introducing:
Incompetent Cube Forecaster, Nub Shitzman
He doesn't talk, so he doesn't technically make promises that he can't keep. He can use windchill and heat index as excuses for not feeling as warm or cool as he should be.
In all seriousness, I really appreciate the people who go into haptic systems. Those are the fields that will bring us into the ultimate evolution of gaming, alternate physical reality(or the web for your whole body), whatever you want to call it. So, I'd actually buy one to keep the scientists, gadget makers, and engineers working toward my final goal. But that doesn't mean I won't put a crap-stache and toupee of shame on their silly little product.
Until next time, I will be visiting and commenting as many of you as I can. I exist for interaction.
