PS3 Rumble Fixed?

SplitFish says it has the answer.

January 30, 2007 - A company called SplitFish claims that it has solved the problem regarding the PlayStation 3's lack of rumble functionality. The company claims that its "dynamic force feedback system" can be used with the PlayStation 3's SIXAXIS controller without interrupting its motion sensing abilities. Its low power force feedback technology is called SensorFX and uses no moving parts to produce the feedback. Its feedback will work across the entirety of the controller, allowing feedback to be focused on one side or the other if necessary.

SplitFish says that its SensorFX technology can be sold as either an add-on for existing controllers or be imbedded into new designs. The add-on for the SIXAXIS plugs into the USB plug on the controller and uses the controller's battery for power.

The SensorFX has two different feedback modes. One mode is for use with games that feature built-in force feedback support, while the other uses the motion tilt functionality and button use to determine feedback actions. SplitFish claims that it will work with developers publishers in an effort to make the best use of its technology.

SplitFish称他们独有的力回馈技术可以让“SIXAXIS”震动起来，而且“Sensor Effects -- SensorFX”技术不用采取运动部件来产生力回馈的感觉，也就是与Immersion公司的专利截然不同，避免了专利纠纷。这种震动技术能提供各种不同感觉的回馈，比如，在游戏中玩家能够体验到脉搏、力度的变化和碰撞等造成的影响。

索尼是否会采用SplitFish的设计呢？这还不是十分确定的。因为如果两者事先就达成协议，一般来说会联合发布新的震动手柄，但很显然他们目前还没有开始合作。如果索尼愿意掏钱的话，也许不久之后玩家就能拿到震动手柄了。
