i'd totally trip over the cable whilst trying to wall dodge.
but it looks really neato.

That is brilliant.

It looks like all he had to do was take apart a game pad, sticking its buttons here and there on the gun but not actually modifying the electronics at all. Then he's got the Gyration Air Mouse there, again no modification. And I bet the LCD screen probably plugs right into the secondary video output on the video card in clone mode.

All completely off the shelf, no special drivers required.

I bet Logitech could sell about a million of those.

Yeah, we'd all like to stand for an hour waving that thing around These new gimmicky aim gadgets come and go , but the mouse and keyboard remain, pretty much as they've always been, why? Simply because there is nothing more ergomically sound.

[DrUnKenSTeiN]

im with this n move with buttons will disorientate the player.Fun to try tbh but not a substitute to mouse n kb.


PS. Looks fun though

until theres a VR helmet or 24" screen on the pistol, me no likey itty bitty screen to play on...

but hey, if the guy can market this, at least he can buy some pants and stop living in a garage

There is nothing wrong with a man living in a garage or not buying pants. These are perfectly legitimate lifestyle decisions, which some of us may, or may not, enjoy.

I wouldn't like this with a VR helmet because FPS games in general only allow for azimuth and elevation panning as controlled by the aim of the gun.

If I had to stand up wearing a VR helmet with my virtual view being controlled by the orientation of the gun, I think I would get dizzy and fall over.

It would be better to have my view controlled by the orienation of my head, with aim of the gun being independently controlled by a second motion detection device on the gun itself, the reticle being superimposed on the virtual view. But obviously this wouldn't be supported by any current game, none that I've heard of anyway.

I admit the lcd screen is tiny. I suppose that is the price of progress.

[Superking17]

They could always switch the lcd for a 70'' flat screen, you wouldn't even notice the difference.

that would weigh more than a redeemer. and battery life would then become an issue.
or i would trip over the **** power cord while dodging...
