“Tactile sensations like stickiness, roughness, pressure, volume or mass can be experienced in a graphical user interface without resorting to special force feedback devices. Powercursor uses a technique called ‘visually simulated force feedback’ to evoke the tactile experience.”

Pretty cool concept. Not sure how practical it really is, but I can think of a few creative uses and a couple of unique flash games that would be fun to use it in.  It’s all in AS2, but I doubt it would be very hard to port to AS3. Nice concept. Check out the examples here.
