Following up on the incubator/Dualshock relation, the orange light inside the baby tank is similar to the "charging" light on the DS4. (More tinfoil on that in comments) Also in support of Yong's "touchpad controls the arm" theory, the touchpad dots are on the head of the arm as well

I'm not 100% sure but I wanna say the touchpad can have multiple functionality... obviously the swipe and the click..

but I believe they can break it down even further.. I swear I've played something that did that to on the touchpad.. like swiping on the "right" side brings up something different than swiping on the "left" side.. like the touchpad itself is in a quadrant form or something. where each quadrant swipe represents a potential different function.

I also think it might even be pressure sensitive to some degree.. because I believe with HZD when you have the HUD set to Dynamic a slight swipe will bring up some HUD elements and a hard swipe will bring up all the HUD elements.

and the thing about physically using a USB cord on the controller is probably true... I mean the whole MGS Psycho Mantis thing with the memory card from Playstation 1. If they could do that type of stuff back then.. They can definitely do it now.
