A Huge 6DOF LEAP from TrackIR

[Iroquois Pliskin]

If i remember correctly, TrackIR5 has this little chip inside, which does most of the work. CPU load is dramatically lower than the FreeTrack variant.

All of them have some sort of processing units, still not comparable to a CPU, though. Question lies in how much is allocated for this particular task in this particular setup.

Nice.... now can we actually do the things like in that Tom Cruise movie? Flipping around pages and stuffs (cant remember the title, the movie where they stop murder from happening by seeing through the future. Was it Bourne Identity?)

Minority Report was my first thought as well. Looks like a smaller scale, more accurate Kinect.

and way damn cheaper.... MS wants 150 dollars for a kinect on PC shiiit

70 dollars for that cool piece of hardware count me in.

Even though I would only use it for showing off and web browsing most likely still awesome.

Would be really awesome if you could do hand gestures in Arma 3 with it give out hand signals and all that.

It doesn't go past cute for me.

The tech will certainly go places but for now it won't beat pressure sensitive tablets/pens for art, and using it on engineering or architecture software all day vs the tiny mouse twitches I've got down pat would be a complete waste of time and energy.
Strange that it claims these areas would benifit.
Maybe I need to get myself a turtle neck to see the light?

Interesting but only interesting. I'm already using a mouse and keyboard that works fine for these things, and I'm comfortable with it. It replaces these things, whereas TrackIR would just add on to what I could do.

Well, i could imagine it would work perfect for my HTPC on my 50" screen in my living room. IMHO good solution if one doesn't have a touchscreen yet. I'm sure it would work extrmely well with Mediacenter software.

Imagine playing something like wargame: european escalation with this, like a commander in the movies with the huge touch screens
