For those who can't decipher what this is, a video might be helpful. It literally crawls the controller along a tabletop using the haptic feedback motors: https://x.com/FossPrime/status/2070013003752251660

Yea, interesting how this outs the README as AI Generated.

I don't think any human would ever write a sentence like this without first explaining THE FREAKING CONTROLLER IS MOVING BY VIBRATING

Proximity Creep Mode: Automatically cuts haptic pulse frequency by 50% when the controller is within 150 pixels of the puck to ensure a gentle magnetic dock.

But the intro paragraph does explain the project.

The person you responded to just points out how useful it is to see it in action.

No? It says “pilots the controller” which is fairly vague of the cause and effects going on. I think a real human would clarify the controller motors being used to physically move the controller.

AGENTS.md is fun too, solid AI bro stuff:

> Code like Anthony Fu and Evan You

> default to the highest quality modern code the legends would ship

What a time to be alive.

Similar idea to this, right? Cycloramic app for the iPhone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iV8UkuD4gig&t=1

Must be nice to be able to even buy a controller.

Yup! I 'reserved' a controller May.15th and my estimated order availability is '2027'.

I got mine! Did the reserve list 10 minutes in a few weeks ago. I like it way more than I thought.

That is odd. I did as well around the same time and mine shows September of this year.

They tried to limit scalping by randomizing the delivery order.

Is this due to ram?

The neighbors hearing the vibrations at the end of the night everyday will not believe that’s your “auto guided controller!” to get charged.
