Gametrak Controller Wins Award

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the insert-dirty-joke-here dept.

Philipp Lenssen writes "According to German Spiegel Online, the Gametrak controller by In2Games just won the "Best of GC" award at the Games Convention in Leipzig, Germany. Cyber-glove Gametrak is announced to launch across Europe next month for the Playstation 2. Once the right software is released (fighting game DarkWind comes first) you should be able to punch opponents, use golf clubs, dance around, and bounce virtual basketballs. A demo video is available."

    It would be great if some of the dancing games like DDR could add in hand motions to the dance steps.

  2. usb connect - pc emulator? by gotmemory · · Score: 5, Interesting

    looks really cool to me. It uses USB to connect, so perhaps a pc emulator could be made.... Imagine surfing the web by punching links.

  3. minority report GUI? by prestwich · · Score: 5, Interesting

    So, how about that 'Minority Report' GUI driven by one of these babies?

  4. I almost feel sorry for them... by Akki · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The videos still download at over 1.5MB/s. That's going to be a hefty bandwidth bill.

    Now we can have games where you can actually fight with a sword, rather than just press a button to attack, another button to parry, etc...
