Shape Shifting Emotion Sensing Games Patented by Sony

From the WTF department comes the news that Sony has patented games that will use a “deformable device that people will squeeze” (ok let your brain begin the imagry on that one).

One of the interfaces for which the company wants a patent is a “man-machine interface using a deformable device.” The proposed system would allow gamers to use a squeezable object like a rubber ball as a substitute for a mouse. A camera hooked up to a game console would follow the ball’s movements, and players could squeeze and move the ball as substitutes for a mouse click or click-and-drag.

What if you are really pissed off? Is that considered bonus points?
