They tried it back with the Powerglove.

Not sure why you think we have off the shelf miniaturized sonar hardware at scale and shape detection tech that could beat out mobile cameras and computer vision software.

Pretty sure Wayne Tech had the prototype of this sonar-vision translation layer of software all wrapped up way back in 2008, so it’s just a matter of productizing that, and since Pickle seems to deal in fiction already there’s good product synergy.

uhm I didn't say that - what I am asking is exactly the opposite, in fact and the power glove thing was hardly capitalized. I wouldn't consider that a serious attempt.
