PS3 Wiimote Patent Merges Two Controllers to Make One Giant Bulbous Freak

[wraggster]

Several months ago, a variety of legitimate publications got word of a PS3 Wiimote-like device that could split in two. We dubbed it the "DualMotion." Today the patent for the DualMotion has been uncovered and while it uses accelerometers and LED-based tracking (similar to the Wiimote), the DualMotion also deploys ultrasonic frequencies to determine absolute xyz position (based upon controller distance from other controllers and your television). Oh, and two DualMotions can assemble to make one big DualMotion. Just check it out in what we believe is the craziest patent diagram ever:

Could have been better than the wiimote, but the ultrasonic frequencies would drive your pets nuts.

True, but it'll keep the bugs away, and nerds are more likely to have bugs than pets.
