    Nice try, but sorry,
    All the above fail under the Looks-like-a-brick-tied-to-my-face criteria.

  3. Re:Useless, like all innovative PC hardware by Yvanhoe · · Score: 1 · on TrueMotion Game Controller a Step Up From Wii Remote

    Ok, I should have been more specific. This particular equipment was made for a theme park, so it was made very robust. It resulted in the bulky design you see (it is actually a sawed plastic pistol for arcade shooting game, we put a polhemus device inside). The device itself exist in a wire mode (and can move in a cube of about 1m edge) or wireless (cube of 0.5m of edge). A wireless device is smaller than a wiimote. Here are pictures of a wired one and of a wireless one.

    It used to be very expensive (around $5000) but that was before the Wii was released. I don't know of their current prices. They maintained it high because they were sitting on the patents for this kind of radio-location. But I think that production costs were somewhere around $50-$100. Seriously, once you have played a bit with this kind of sensors, a Wiimote is just laughable.

    Jesus, I should have looked deeper. He just patented this. And it's been discontinued.

    If you have a mech that's approaching 20 ft tall, then you can have a cockpit that allows a full range of motion for the pilot in a full-body haptic feedback harness. (See this site for a full-arm haptic harness.) Short of a direct neural interface, this is the only way you're going to provide force-feedback. If you don't have force-feedback, then you won't be able to control a bipedal humaniform robot well enough to do real combat.

    But if you dispense with dynamic balance, then you can build mecha on tracks like these Japanese guys did for real! T-52
