Yes. Furthermore, I feel imaginary textures when I move the mouse past things on-screen. For example, the edge of an application window "feels" like a small speed bump. (That effect is exaggerated by window systems that snap objects to a grid or to each others' borders.)
Nope. :) And really, it shouldn't be too surprising that we feel visual synaesthesia. Our monkey brains really like to provide as much feedback as possible to visual stimuli.
Edit: Of course, it's also possible that we're both just crazy.
Any kind. The one I was thinking of when describing this scenario was when you are in a virtual machine window inside of a larger desktop. Like when you use vmware or vnc or remote desktop. You know how the virtual machine captures your keyboard and pointer movements, so you can't roll out of that window without pressing some key combo first? Well, when I hit the edge of the window doing that, I *feel* it.
yeah I get that all the time. when my screen freezes or a program decides to zombify ontop of every other app going on, I get a head ache. I find that most of my headaches are in direct relation to a bad torrent or stuff-it expander being a retard.
sometimes I get the same kind of thing when I'm reading a comic book. where there's all this build up and all the sudden I hear a soundtrack or something... even though it's just flat images.
