Is The Next Generation of Gaming Bendable?

Hey NGU, I found some interesting news for you guys and in my opinion this IS NOT the way forward in gaming ....... but see for yourself.
A team from Queen's University in Ontario has benn working on a new way to play video games....they created a bendable way. This is done through a projection onto your screen which bends.
Zi Ye and Hammad Khalid from the Human Media Lab at Queen's University in Ontario showed us his latest piece of kit, this bendable piece of gaming. This works with a screen fitted with "flex sensoring wires" and motion sensors on the screen. The projection would have to come from a small shoulder mounted projector (shakey much?) The game is projected onto the screen through the shoulder mounted projector, and when the player bends or shakes the device, the sensors register movement and input and changes accordingly. The positioning of the screen is monitoried using a "Wii remote camera" ontop of the projector, with infrared LEDs interlaced into the screen.
So Where exactly is all this going? One of the examples I read was that you would bend back one corner of the screen and release it like a movement of a bow and arrow. Obviously there will be more creative and better concepts and ideas that could be integrated into the prototype.
Now the downside :n:
Well first thing that springs to my mind is the "shoulder mounted projector", surely you would have to stay pretty still in order to create a fluid and smooth gaming expierence. Also i wouldn't be too fond of having this thing on my shoulder the whole time looking like a bit of a freak.
Anyways without testing this thing who knows?, but my overall impression is.....NO just because I can't find the element that interests me and I just don't see the future in it...who knows this could be the next best thing? Tell me what you think
