| 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 |

| ▲ | jdpigeon 7 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | 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. | | |
| ▲ | hombre_fatal 6 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | 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. | | |
| ▲ | clayhacks 5 hours ago | parent [-] | | 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. | | |
| ▲ | serf 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | yes? it says it uses the haptic motors like within 2 or 3 sentences, it says it 'slams the controller into the puck until it charges', it says it uses an overhead camera, and it even says that it navigates the controller to the puck using the motors and camera further down if you don't feel like taking the 3 seconds to connect the dots. a video would've been nice, but I would've communicated this the same way and i'm not an llm, even if this thing may have been written by one, nor did I have any problem understanding the intent - not a brag, it just doesn't seem that strange to me. | | |
| ▲ | jorvi 4 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Any human would have taglined this "vibrate to magnetic charging puck with computer vision". It just feels horribly low effort. Respect your fellow man. | |
| ▲ | Gigachad 4 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | It doesn’t say haptic motor anywhere. The only reference to how it moves in the whole thing is “internal dual Linear Resonant Actuators” which seems intentionally obtuse and even that is buried in the depths surrounded by a ton of unimportant detail. |

| Very cool. That controller has gyro and mic. Even more interesting solutions are available. |

| 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. |

| ▲ | soupbowl 6 hours ago | parent [-] | | Yup! I 'reserved' a controller May.15th and my estimated order availability is '2027'. | | |
| ▲ | zackify 4 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I got mine! Did the reserve list 10 minutes in a few weeks ago. I like it way more than I thought. | |
| ▲ | nirav72 5 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | That is odd. I did as well around the same time and mine shows September of this year. | | |

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