Nintendo files a lot of terrible, terrible patents, and over the last two years (since the Wii, especially) we’ve seen everything from football wiimotes, play-horses to ride, and stationary bicycles for Wii Fit. It’s rather absurd, and I don’t see it getting any less absurd anytime soon since we just learned of a new 3DS patent that would allow you to use a vibrating stylus to control the system without touching it.

It works by using the inner-facing 3DS camera and a marker- similar to how Playstation Move functions- that the camera can follow and track in 3D space so you can “grab” and “move” objects on the top screen. Combine that with the 3D visuals and it could appear that you’re moving objects in 3D space. Additionally, the new crazy stylus has a vibration function to help you understand when you’re interacting with objects and when you’re not.

I could go on about how this isn’t going to work, but perhaps I’ll save it for a feature later. I’ve more posts to write!
