Nokia: One technology that I think we’ll see more of is haptics

from N-Gage Insider:

>>Where’s the mobile industry moving in general with games innovation?

I think the industry is yet to capitalize on the potential of what the mobile phone can provide. For example, the Nokia N95 has a high resolution screen, GPS, Wi-Fi connectivity, Bluetooth and motion sensors, such as accelerometers. The possibilities with using mobile technologies are endless.

One technology that I think we’ll see more of is haptics. Vibration is something that our games should be using because it is such a powerful way of sending information to the player. It’s all about the actual gameplay and encouraging players to get the maximum out of their mobile gaming experience.
