Guy from work had this delivered today. Which is an Infared motion tracker for a hat or headphones. It lets you use your head movements to control where you look, rather than moving your body in the game. This is about as geeky and cool as you can get all at the same time. I couldn't find the video on Armed Assault we watched at work, but the game tracked the users EXACT head movements (it was pretty cool... maybe almost wii like application) so, you can see someone nodding or indicating no IN GAME... It is somewhat like free mouselook, but not really. This is just kinda cool I think. This is the lowdown and looks really cool on Armed Assault. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AO0F5sLdVM This post has been edited by some_help: 06/13/07 8:07pm |

My first impression is that unless it detects eye movement rather than just head movement, it will not be good enough for serious play.
I have seen some military systems that do track eye movement. Now that would be worth $2K. Old Man Mike |
