A Huge 6DOF LEAP from TrackIR

[arye_r]

Just stumbled upon this, putting it in the wishlist thread just seemed wrong...
Moderators, for your consideration.

OK. So... Imagine yourself in-game, pulling the trigger of a virtual rifle (or even a dummy), just like if you were holding an air guitar.
Or driving a car with your hands on a virtual steering wheel or even steering your parachute with your hands holding virtual steering handles...

Possibilities are endless and looks like there's a solution.

TrackIR!? What a joke...

Take a good look at this :







SDK's are free to download for developement and the device itself is ready for preorder for 80 bucks...

Me? I'm speechless and filled with hope.
What do you people think? How hard could this be to implement?

@Devs, are you aware of this thing?

[Minoza]

Wow! I'm just thinking about pre-ordering it.

Interesting, looks very accurate.

[arye_r]

Just preordered.... What the hell

Moved to Offtopic cause I guess this is interesting enough to continue discussing. It really has nothing to do with Arma 3 and indeed, if you want it in A3 I suggest you use the wishlist thread.

This does indeed look very interesting!

Maybe if it was implemented into ArmA it would track your hands and your character in ArmA would do the same thing. Would be awesome for hand signals, such as the bird!

But it does look pretty interesting, very accurate.

I am very interested in this - Going to start looking into the possiblities of this with Source SDK (Because they have it working on Source engine!) and ARMA 2

How does it work? Strange, there is not 1 word anywhere about how it works. I'm assuming it's IR, but, I will not buy it till I know some technical details.

What are the tech specifications for the LEAP?
TBD.

Just isn't good enough. You could be ordering an empty box.

Yeah,

This is the only reason I am not ordering LEAP - This very second. I want to know how it works...
