Motion Controller for the PC?
« on: January 08, 2010, 06:18:33 PM »
found this on RockPaperShotgun and... well the technology seems sound.
It doesnt use Gyros or infrared or anything like that. It uses an electromagnetic field, allowing it to follow the two controllers to the millimetre and the degree.

And it's impressed some big names including Valve and the legend that is John Carmack.

Mo' info

It wont revolutionise the PC, but it's kinda cool.

"Parents always think kids are wasting their youth, and always have done [so] down through the millennia," says Tom Forsyth of RAD Game Tools. "'That Ug, always holding things. His front paws will develop in funny ways. Why can't he walk on all fours like normal proto-hominids?' And so, whatever the kids spend the most time doing, that's always what parents think is a waste of time, and what is corrupting their lives. It doesn't matter what that is. If all they did was homework, parents would be worrying that their kids aren't becoming well-rounded people. And, in fact, parents do this - enrolling math nerds in karate classes and the like. There is no way to win - parental paranoia ensures that kids are always doing the wrong thing."
