This reminds me of the guy on sharktank that had an app for iPhone to take panoramic pictures on its own by standing up the phone on its edge and it used the vibrating frequency to move.
The app was nothing big or special and no one wanted. The programming on how they achieved it was all anyone wanted and they made a shit load of money selling it.
What if…I point the webcam…at other stuff?
But why? You can just… put it on the charger.
Why would anyone buy a Roomba when they can just vacuum the floor themselves?
I’ve never been sold on the roomba idea, but vacuuming can take some time and physical effort depending on the size of the living/working space.
Putting a controller on a charging puck should take all of five seconds, to be generous. It even has magnets!
I feel like the real answer here with the controller is “because we can/because it’s cool”
Well, also “as proof of a concept that may to lead to something more useful”
Also true! Though in a Roomba’s case with room mapping, sometimes more terrifying… 😔
Sadly that’s the risk of any innovation, that someone will use it to manipulate and abuse others for power or pleasure.
I was kinda joking with the Roomba comparison.
I could kinda see a use for this where the controller could wake itself up and try to plug itself in if the battery gets low, but the steam controller battery life is so good that it’s a pretty low need
I know you think you are making a point but you aren’t roombas do a shit job and you have to vacuum anyway.
I had a roomba it was garbage
Too much work.
